    S54 Codes galore. Possible vanos or camshaft position

    After the fuel pump issue and repair. I reset the codes, got the car ready for emissions and it passed. Running like a champ.

    3-4 days later the SES light lihhts up. Later that day engine feels rough at idle and it's feeling like it want to stall when just starting off but feels fine at higher rpm.

    Codes are:
    Brake light and cruise control (no clue why)
    Intake Camshaft Vanos Retard Valve
    Cat system efficiency 4-6 (that's been a thing for a while)
    Intake Camshaft Position Control

    All read through a Peake scanner.

    Guidance? From my reading so far seems like it could be a simple sensor, the solenoid, the vanos itself, tabs or oil pump. Need to do more reading. No misfire codes.

    Silly question...what is battery voltage, and voltage when running?
    What is fluid level?
    Fill it and charge it.
