Found two codes today: 5DA3 and 5D93, please tell me they aren't what I think..

So I purchased a CPO 335i two weeks ago. Clean carfax ( I know this doesn't mean jack). No accident history per dealer(more troubling to me than the clean carfax).

Ran codes today with the BT tool.

Two codes caught my eye: 5DA3 and 5D93

5D93
Wheel speed sensor (front left) plausibility at speed
< 20km/h

5DA3
Wheel speed sensor (front right) run-up plausibility
detection

Please tell me that does not mean this car was in an accident.

If it indeed does, then that means these codes were on the car when I purchased it, meaning the dealer would have had prior knowledge of an accident on this car...yes? Any recourse for false information like this? I understand Caveat emptor applies to used car purchases but codes like this should have eliminated this car from being sold as CPO.

I really hope this does not mean the car has an accident history.

Add another one to the list, under the airbag subgroup:
93FB:
SBR - function - Velocity signal missing
Error will not cause a warning light

Suddenly not having such a good day

Sounds like the wheel speed sensors for the ABS system didn't read properly at some point. Does the scanner say at what mileage the code came on? Is the ABS light on? The air bag code set because the system didn't detect vehicle speed, which makes sense if the wheel speed sensors were not working. If the ABS light is not on then the sensors are now working. I'd just reset the codes and see if they come back.

No mileage listed for these codes. ABS light is not on. I really hope it is nothing.
