Q: VEHICLE ISSUES

German luxury cars built in this century are very complicated. They have multiple electronic control units for different functions, one for the engine, one for the transmission, one for the brakes and half a dozen more for various body functions. They are always talking to each other and share the information from sensors throughout the car. Sometimes a single sensor failure can bring on problems from all of the systems that share that information, hence the multiple warnings.

This car needs to be scanned by the appropriate equipment. A generic OBD scanner, the kind used by auto parts stores that you can buy for 50 dollars will not do the trick. It will only pick up the universal codes. There are lines and lines of data that can only be recovered by a scanner with the software specific for this car and that is what you will need to see to solve this problem. My advice is to contact YourMechanic about having a technician come to your home and scan your car with the right stuff, then they can help you decide what needs to be done next.
