I am getting these error all of a sudden..............what do they mean???

I turn on the car and it goes away but after 5 min driving they come back one.

Please help because I need to know if this is serious or not.

Check the pictures below.

Thanks in advance





SZL a.k.a. Steering Angle Sensor. At least that is what they changed to fix this problem on my car.

Could be the battery. What year and what software version do you have?
a little off topic, but how do you check the software version? what's the most current?

Only the dealer can tell. Rudy probably knows what the latest rev should be.

Do you have active steering and\or dynamic drive? Check the level of power steering fluid.
I had that problem in my 545i. It was below the limit and that triggered the errors.

Check your battery connection. Had similar issue after some work i did. My battery's ground or positive......I believe positive was tight but not tight enough. Problem came on every few days. I tightened the battery and problem went away a few mins later and never came back. Check you battery connections first. Of course if you didn't touch the battery, chances are narrow for it to loosen itself but you never know. Worth a shot.
