    I continue to sort out my used 2008 X3 with 32k miles on it and using the AutoEnginuity scanner I can see the following error code. It gets set even on a single driving cycle:
    ABS DSC 8 - 5DEA Unknown Trouble Code Description

    When I first fully scanned the car, I also had the following codes in addition to the above. However, these are not present at this time:

    ABS DSC 8 - 6E3C Unknown Trouble Code Description
    Vario Transfer Gearbox (VTG) - 55C4 No Message from DSC

    On occasions, I have seen the yellow "BRAKE" and "4x4" dashboard lights turn on, but that does not seem to be repeatable and it goes off after cycling the ignition. It also seems to be different than the trifecta of lights that others have reported. I have not been able to find anywhere what these codes could mean.

    I have not observed any drivability issues nor strange noises. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
