fault codes

So, I have a ew fault codes from Bimmer Tool that I cant decipher:

ZKE central body electronics
A7(167)
A6(166)
59(89) driver door lock circuit interrupted?

Im having central locking issues so i'm most interested in deciphering these.
I recently rebuilt the drivers lock with a kit and it was working again but has since stopped locking electronically, only manually locks the drivers door (central button not working either)

KOMBI instrument cluster
BC(188)
BD(189)

DSC
20(32) front right speed sensor?
6C(108) brake fluid level switch? topped it off recently

Unfortunately Bimmer Tools doesnt have all descriptions and they can be hard to find online. Any help would be appreciated.

I think most people here use either the Foxwell scanner or BMW software with a laptop.

Yes, I have INPA on my laptop but my adapter isnt working at the moment for some reason. The codes i've retrieved, just hoping someone had explanations for the ones that I havent found meanings for.

The KOMBI code BD is the Electronic Brake Force Distribution fault that many e53 cars show: -

I think the KOMBI code BC is low brake fluid (same as the DSC code 6C).

Awesome, thanks for your input. Those explanations coupled with my DSC brake switch fault would lead me to believe that those codes coincide with the brake issue I dealt with recently.

It's the ZKE module codes I'm most concerned with, we're having central locking/key fob issues.
