today, dsc light came on. thought i hit the button reaching for my sun glasses. pressed the button and the light went off. stopped at the store to pick up some stuff, got in to drive home and the dsc light wouldn't go off after starting the car. car still drove normally at this point. 2km in, all the needles on the dash except the fuel started intermittently dying. the speedo, tach and fuel econ would go to zero and the coolant temp would be pegged at full hot. all the dash lights started lighting up. first was the abs light, then the check engine light then transfailsafe appeared on the dash. after everything lit up, the needles stopped working all together. the car became very sluggish, low on power and seemed to lunge at the light. went home and used the peake tool on it and got 2 codes that read CAN-DSC and CAN-EGS or something similar. is this a sign of my trans dying, or my dsc module dying? if its the dsc, can it be bypassed? car is a 01 740i
