Does anyone know if there is a DIY anywhere for resetting/recalibrating this sensor? I've read it's fairly simple but haven't found exactly how to do it yet. I have a BRAKE and DSC light on that I've done a lot of research on and this is one of several things that could be the culprit so I would like to attempt it myself. The lights come on at random when, it seems most often, I am making a long left turn on a highway 40mph and above. Any additional ideas are also welcome.

No special tools needed... Here is what DriveHard showed us how to calibrate the SZL sensor...
Post #7 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=504482 HOPE YOU READ THIS BEFORE YOU G BACK.. sit in car, start engine, have steering wheel in straight ahead position without pausing, turn wheel slowly all the way to the left and pause at the end for a second or 2 without passing, turn all the way to the right and pause at the end for a second or 2 repeat the last 2 steps and end in the straight ahead position. turn off car, wait a minute, restart, and drive away for a few hundred feet. you just calibrated your SZL ( steering wheel sensor to tell dsc if wheel is turned and to what degree) other lights come on by default. Good Luck... ________________

I will certainly be doing this first thing in the morning! It seems Bimmber-Bob was having the same issues to a T so we will see how it goes. The lights only started coming on after the dealer had to reprogram a new headlight assembly and every time they do any kind of programming in my experience, they seem to have updated everything so I would imagine I am dealing with the same type of situation.

UHHHH, had so much hope for this simple fix. Not sure if I'm not going slow enough but the lights continue to come on. They go off every time I restart the car and drive a few feet and then again, back on at complete random. It is definitely something with the steering, it has to be. Another mentioned it might be a good idea to get an alignment as a similar issue they were having was solved by getting this done, but my car seems to be in perfect alignment. I've had one done twice in 2 years both times I got new tires BUT this issue did happen after an accident with damage to the left front. No wheel/axle damage but who knows, maybe something was knocked loose or the BMW tech programmed something incorrectly when doing his thing with the new air bag or headlight. I guess we shall see....more tricks are welcome!

Well, I have USAA and according to them, they do not pay to have lights dealt with directly. I was told that if it turns out it was determined to be a result of the accident, they will reimburse but that's it....probably the route I will have to take. The accident was completely cosmetic other than this one thing...pain in the butt.

Btw... did you ever have your battery cable recall done? I wonder IF that could be part of the problem? Good Luck, Dackel

Also... IF your car has "active steering" it requires a special kind of alignment. I don't know exactly what is different... but I've seen guys here posting that the alignment cost for cars with AS is a lot more expensive than on normal cars. Most of the time only the dealers can do an alignment on AS cars. ?
