DTC9968 is on a distinguished road
Code 1845

Ok gang here we go.....

2002 X5 4.4i with 168000 Kilometers. ( 100000 miles )

Vehicle went into Trans Fail safe mode.

Engine light came on.

Pulled code and shows P1845
(Pressure Control Solenoid "E" Low)

So.... What does that mean and is it something I can do myself?
Where is the pressure control solenoid?

It is inside the transmission, attached to the valve body. You may not require a transmission overhaul, but you do require someone who is familiar with the transmission and can further diagnose the problem. There are numerous posts here about ZF tranmission overhauls; you can see the solenoids in the photos in those posts.

Edit: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...long-post.html

See this thread, look at post #20, last photo. It could be a solenoid, a wiring harness problem, or a mechanical/hydraulic issue in the circuit that contains that solenoid.
