A faulty transmission control module (TCM) most often causes limp mode with the gearbox stuck in one gear, harsh jolts when you select D or R, erratic gear changes, flashing PRND letters and a gearbox or engine warning light. However, the same symptoms are often caused by a low gearbox oil level, a weak battery, a poor earth or a faulty sensor. To test a transmission control module, start by checking the battery and reading the fault codes with a diagnostic tool that can talk to the gearbox control unit, then check the power supply, the connector, the oil and the live data. Below we explain the symptoms, the diagnostic steps and what the most common fault codes mean.

How an ABS pump with control module works
One module contains two parts: the hydraulic block with valves and pump, and the electronics that control them. Both work together within fractions of a second, especially on slippery surfaces.
Matching
The label on this pump carries two BMW numbers: 6897159 and 6897160. Compare both with the numbers on your module, because different hydraulic unit versions were fitted to BMW models.
Symptoms of a faulty ABS pump
- the ABS and brake warning lights do not go out after switching on the ignition,
- no wheel speed reading,
- the car reports sensor faults even though the sensors work,
- the module overheats or resets.
The brake system is crucial for safety - after replacement, bleed the brakes and have the ABS checked in a workshop.
Questions and answers
| Can I drive with the ABS warning light on? |
|---|
| Usually the car still brakes without ABS assistance, but the wheels can lock and ESP will not work. The repair should be done as soon as possible. |
| Does the control module need coding after the pump is replaced? |
| It depends on the make, model and version. Before buying, check whether your car needs adaptation or coding after the replacement. |
| Does the brake fluid need replacing after the pump is fitted? |
| The system has to be bled after the pump is replaced anyway, so it is a good moment to check the fluid and replace it if it is old. |
