Speedometer/Odometer Arent working
Hi guys. This is my first post to this forum. Ive been out of the US for about a year now and my father in law has been cranking the car for me every week. I just got back and noticed the ABS/BRAKE as well as the Triangle ABS light was on. Not only that but my speedometer and odometer arent working either. Ive read a couple of other forums and theyve pointed to the ABS module. Others have said the ABS sensors are dirty or bad. Not really sure where to begin. Anyone else have problems like this? My car is a 2003 325i E46 Motor. Thanks for the help in advance

more then likely its a speed sensor issue.
how long have you driven the car since coming back?

If the brakes don't know how fast the car is going (ie. getting a speed signal), it can't accurately activate the abs (or even know if it should). So yes, it could.
