DSC, ABS fault | Need DSC control unit

[Hasan Shaikh]

Guys

I need a DSC control unit for my E63 M6.

The best price for a new unit is AED 10,000. Can I get a used one from Sharjah. Where is the best place to look for one.

Thanks
Hasan

here is the map of one of the big scrap yards for BMW in sharjah , you will find tons of DSC modules there .

Thanks Ehssan

Will try to visit the place on Saturday.

By the way, what is the harm if I don't fix this. I mean other than my DSC and ABS not working?

SMG will acts stupid sometimes , you will not get the maximum torque out of the engine unless you completely disable DSC inside the DME .

SMG will still act weird no matter what you do , you better have it replaced with used one , programming it is a piece of cake .

Hassan ....are you 100% its the issue with the unit? The same fault can be triggered by a faulty wheel speed sensor. I reckon you have already gone via that route before getting to the DSC/ABS unit.

Thanks Wazif

I checked the fault codes and they mention DSC control unit only.

I believe the fault codes will be different if the speed sensor was faulty? Or this might not be the case?

Appreciate your help.

Not sure about the fault code bro....technically speaking, what you are saying should be true...if its the wheel speed sensor, it should be a different fault code.
But it could not be the case.

I'd suggest you swap out the wheel speed sensor first, its a much cheaper option

Its definitely worth a try. I will have a go at it.

Tried putting in speed sensors from another car, but didn't work. :(

[Wazif]

:( sorry to hear that

[Hasan Shaikh]

It was a good suggestion though.

It seems that the pump has gone bad. I guess the only way to fix this is to get a used unit from Sharjah. :(

Any US companies selling rebuilt ones?

There is a guy parting out his M6 in the marketplace section. It may be worth checking with him.
