Thank you. 0 Reply #5 · Mar 24, 2017 Thank you very much for yr help. #7 · Mar 29, 2017 Error Codes Hi X3 E83 2005. Can anyone tell me which ABS wheel sensor 5f1e is I have the ABS and the 4x4 warning lights up. Thanks in advance #8 · Mar 29, 2017 I don't think the 5f1e code is a wheel sensor. A quick search says it is an odd code relating to the trailer tow wiring. Hence, I would concentrate on your transfer case code and perhaps the 5f1e will be eliminated in the process. Search the forum for the many threads on TC issues. See if you get the clicking sound from the actuator right after the engine is turned off. You might just need a new plastic actuator gear, fluid change, and codes/adaptations reset. How many miles on your X3 and has the TC received any maintenance previously? AM. Insert Quotes Post Reply
