DSC, ABS, AWD & EBV lights
I know these lights are a common problem and could be anything causing it. I bought a car and on the test drive/driving it home I had no issues: serviced the brakes, changed all fluids and after that is when I got the light trifecta. I've gotta figure this as soon as I can before I can have the car safetied; A royal pain in my ass.
Car is an 07 E61 530xi with a 6spd. Originally the codes were: 55C3(Transfer case limp home mode) and 5D8D (DSC hydraulic unit pump) . I swapped a replacement DSC(DXC) module and that just added 55D0 (Steering Wheel Angle, 0xc4 Error, Receiver Transfer Box, Transmitter DSC) and 6DC3 (DSC sensor adjustment required). I have a Schwaben tool and have dont all the adjustments and re-calibrations as I can. Also have a brand new battery installed.
Any help or direction is appreciated

I know this probably isn't much help, but it sounds like changing the fluids is what started this or at least coincided. which fluids are you referring to? A brake fluid flush does have a specific procedure associated with it. cant imagine that throwing everything like it did. did you bump some sensors while doing the brakes? is it possible those faults were already present and ready to trigger anyway?

I changed every single fluid on the car(as I do every time I get a new car). I'm doubting new fluid is going to throw a fit but who knows; I agree bumping into something may have done it. I've gone over the car and checked all related connectors and wiring and such but nothing yet.
I scanned the car with the Schwaben before I bought it and none of these came up.
I re-coded the new ABS module to the car and re-did all the DSC/ABS/Steering angle calibrations. Will try and see if that's what it needed

Well I figured it out. triple check fuses. Even though the big 50A fuse looked perfectly okay; somewhere inside it wasn't. Chasing my tail over a damn fuse I checked 100 times...
