I have a couple of fault codes on my Mini Hatch R50 after using a C110+ scanner. The codes are:
1) 5E19 CAN data fault from DME/DDE (DSC Lamp on as long as error is present)
2) 5df5 internal fault control unit.
I am just wondering what these codes mean and if they can be fixed.

This means that the other modules were not able to communicate with the ABS and it is thinking it is an internal fault with the ABS. Normally you need to replace the ABS module. However this could be a connection issue. I would recommend going to the ABS controller and unhook it and reconnect the connector just to see if re-seating the connector re-establishes the connection.

I attached the location of the ABS. Let me know if you have questions. If this does not resolve it then I suspect we will need to replace the ABS.
