F30 Ista+ codes question (Transfer box/Power steering)

Afternoon all

Car is a 2015 335d Xdrive Msport and after using Ista+for the first time today i noticed there are some codes on there even though the car is driving fine and no warning lights on etc. Any ideas on where to look as i'm assuming something electrical not well up on these cars at the moment as not had it long;

I got the following;

Supply, transfer box (VTG)
S 0270 no communication possible with : Transfer Control box
ABL - Supply transfer box

Power supply EPS Electromechanical power steering
S 0399 no communication possible with : electromechanical steering
ABL - Voltage supply, electromechanical power steering (EPS)

Supply, FLA high beam assistant
S 0246 no communication possible with : High beam assistant
ABL - High beam assistant (FLA)

Have you changed the battery yet? These cars will throw crazy codes at you once the battery starts to go.

Normal. There pretty much will always be stored codes for info memory due to the amount of modules and what they constantly check for.

It's not until you get a permanent error that it's something you need to look into.

You can see in ISTA how many times and at which mileage they have occurred. Once long time ago is nothing to worry about but multiple times and recently should be investigated further.

As other have said ISTA will show the mileage (in km) that the error occurred, if it was sometime in the considerable past you may be able to safely ignore it. Clear the codes, drive your car and test again to see any current faults. ISTA will tell you if the error is "present" or not.
