This means you have a low battery charge. Turn on the car and turn your steering wheel all the way to the right and then turn it all the way to the left. This will reset the system.

I don't have an XI, but I had those errors on mine and the SZL was replaced. No errors since.

Does this really reset the system? My battery has died twice this winter - will performing this help the situation?

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Mine did the same thing on New Year's day. Dealer replaced the steering angle sensor under CPO warranty. No problems since. Does anybody know how often these things go bad?
