#19 of 21 2006 525i Transmission Fault by larrynguyen Aug 25, 2009 (7:14 pm)
My car (53k miles) just has the red warning light comes on with the message "Gear can be engaged w/o depressing the brake. Drive moderately! Have he system checked by the mechanics..." How serious is this problem? What cause it and what we should do to fix it?   Also, another yellow warning light comes on "Braking/driving stab. Brake and drive control system malfunciton! Reduced braking and driving stability. Avoid hard braking". Any information is really appreciated. Replies to this message: bmw5sin (Aug 26, 2009 8:42 pm) larrynguyen (Aug 28, 2009 5:47 am)

I've got the message dignosed and for the result as "electronic pressure control valve 2". Workshops has asked to either overhauled the gearbox, or changed transmission oil and see if it works.

Replying to: bmw5sin (Aug 26, 2009 8:42 pm) Unfortunately my car just passed the factory warranty period (4yr/50kmiles) by 1 month (53k miles now). So I need to find out some help to pay for the repair now before I take my car to the dealers yet. The dealer asks for $140 for diagnostic fee which includes using machines to read the error code. Repair cost is based on the diag results. The car still runs ok. The warning lights just come and go. Transmission is ok. Brake still works; probably ABS is disabled. Any one to help?
