Default Navigation fault code help please

I’m still trying to get my navigation system working in my E60 2004

I found some fault codes in the navigation system

The main was was

A3EC no wheel speed sensor

My cruise control is working fine and no dash fault lights are on

Has anyone had an experience with this code and how to fix it?

Thanks

This code is pretty clear. You have wheel speed sensors installed in the hub of the wheel where it measures wheel rotation. Start there.

That’s the problem
The speed sensors are working and so I was hoping the code may give an indication to a separate problem
Like many BMW codes it doesn’t always say the location of a fault
So I do know now that the sensors are working but no signal is getting to the gps uni in the boot

So a long task will be required to trace wires from the rear and more than likely find a broken wire in the loom somewhere
