2013 MCS, N18 Schwaben fault codes

I have a 2013 MCS with N18 engine and 45K miles.

I recently had the CEL come on and with my Schwaben scanner, I get the following codes.

3490/not present: Map thermostat, activation: line disconnection
387F/not present: Power management, closed-circuit current violation
5DAE/not present: DSC brake fluid level too low

1. The brake fluid, I've checked and it's not low in the brake fluid reservoir.

Any idea what these could mean or indicate? They appeared directly after changing the oil at 45k miles.

Car seems to be driving fine on short trips (7 miles) to work, haven't tried any longer trips.

Any idea's or things I can check? I've erased the codes but they return.

Similar problem here. Any news on yours?

Hi Velothree: Right after 75K oil change on 2011 MCS N18, get:
Schwaben
3490/not present: Map thermostat, activation: line disconnection
I cleared it and it returns next drive.
Was yours a legitimate failure?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
