Symptoms & Diagnosis

Is your BMW or Mini acting up? A failing Chassis Control Module can cause some strange issues. Here's how to tell if it might be the culprit.

  • Warning Lights: ABS, DSC, or brake warning lights might pop up on your dashboard.
  • Erratic Braking: Your brakes might feel jerky, inconsistent, or activate unexpectedly.
  • Loss of Traction Control: The traction control system might not work properly, leading to wheel spin in slippery conditions.
  • Steering Issues: You might notice changes in steering feel, like it being heavier or lighter than usual.

Testing the Chassis Control Module:

  1. Get your car scanned by a mechanic with a diagnostic tool. This will read any error codes stored in the car's computer.
  2. Check the wheel speed sensors. Faulty sensors can send incorrect information to the module, causing problems.
  3. Inspect the wiring and connections to the module. Look for any damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
  4. If possible, try swapping in a known good module to see if the symptoms disappear. (This should be done by a professional).

Common Failure Causes:

  • Electrical Surges: Power spikes can damage the sensitive electronics inside the module.
  • Water Damage: Moisture can corrode the internal components.
  • Vibration: Constant vibrations can weaken solder joints and other connections over time.
  • Age: Like any electronic component, the module can simply wear out over time.

Buyer's Checklist

Buying a Chassis Control Module? Here's what to keep in mind.

  • Check Compatibility: Make sure the module is designed for your specific year, make, and model BMW or Mini.
  • Verify OEM Numbers: While we don't list them here, having the original part number from your old module helps ensure you get the right replacement.
  • Inspect the Housing: Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks or broken connectors.
  • Ask About Testing: If buying a used module, ask if it has been tested to ensure it's working properly.

Quality Indicators:

  • OEM Markings: Original Equipment Manufacturer parts will have the manufacturer's logo and markings.
  • Clean Connectors: The connectors should be clean and free of corrosion.
  • Solid Construction: The module should feel solid and well-built.

What's Included:

  • Typically, you'll receive just the Chassis Control Module itself. You might need to reuse existing mounting hardware.

Installation Overview

Replacing the Chassis Control Module isn't too difficult, but it does require some care.

  • Difficulty Level: Intermediate
  • Estimated Time: 1-2 hours

Special Tools Needed:

  • Socket set
  • Screwdrivers
  • Diagnostic scan tool (for clearing codes)

Critical Steps and Tips:

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before starting any work.
  2. Locate the Chassis Control Module. It's often found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  3. Carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the module.
  4. Remove the mounting hardware and remove the old module.
  5. Install the new module and reconnect the wiring harness.
  6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  7. Use a diagnostic scan tool to clear any error codes and calibrate the system if needed.

DIY or Professional Installation?

  • If you're comfortable working on cars and have some experience with electrical systems, you can probably handle this job yourself. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper calibration and avoid any potential issues.

  • Cons: May have some cosmetic wear, limited availability.

New Aftermarket:

  • Pros: Brand new, readily available.
  • Cons: May not be as durable as OEM, can be more expensive than used OEM.

Typical Lifespan

How long can you expect your Chassis Control Module to last?

  • Typical Lifespan: 8-12 years or 100,000-150,000 miles.

Factors That Affect Longevity:

  • Driving Conditions: Harsh driving conditions, such as frequent braking and acceleration, can put more stress on the system.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, and road salt can shorten the lifespan of the module.
  • Maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as checking the brake fluid and wheel speed sensors, can help extend the life of the module.

Price Ranges

Here's a general idea of what you can expect to pay for a Chassis Control Module:

  • Used OEM: $100 - $300
  • New Aftermarket: $200 - $500

Labor Cost Considerations:

  • Labor costs can vary depending on the shop and the complexity of the job. Expect to pay $100 - $200 for professional installation.

Total Job Cost Estimates:

  • DIY (Used OEM): $100 - $300 (part only)
