Do you have the right version of INPA with the Special Tests?

See this thread posts 8 & 9

Coding ABS Donor Module & Steering Angle Calibration

There is a link in the thread to the correct version of INPA - the link is also on my USERNAME visitor page.

Edit: Caution - I found that it's not an UPDATE - it's actually an older version of INPA that had these routines. (I think they're called from NCSPlant)

You can scan the ABS/ASC/DSC with PA Soft but it does not have the special SAS calibration routine. I've owned PA Soft from 1.36 through 1.4.9 and it's never had a feature to set the value for the SAS into the ABS system. It is actually very simple with the right version of INPA. It can also be done using GT1 or ISTA but they are less available.

First thing to do, mostly because it's free and easy, is to turn the steering wheel to full lock in one direction to full lock in the other, then back to center. This turned the lights off in my X5.

I agree - chock to chock (multiple times) should be the first try - in the thread I linked this was suggested to me also, it didn't work but worth a try. I was also out of options trying with PA Soft to reset the value in the ABS so I ended up using INPA.
