57 plate BMW Z4 2.0

I have got 3 lights on dash - tyre pressure, hand brake (orange) and traction control.

Tried Peter Vardy BMW in Edinburgh but they wanted £165 just to look at it. A friend has a Snapon diagnostic which we plugged in and pulled back these codes -

5E32 DSC Sensor Lateral Acceleration Plausibility
5E34 DSC Sensor Longitudinal Acceleration Plausibility
5E30 DSC Sensor Lateral Acceleration Plausibility

Trying a code reset the 5E32 sensor cleared for now.

Does anyone know what these codes actually mean, keen to get these fixed as typically the MOT is due!
 
I was confused by 'plausibility' on my error codes, turned out to be broken wiring. Perhaps a check of electrical continuity might be an initial stab?
 
For benefit of others, this appeared to be the DSC sensor under the drivers seat. I found a bit of dampness/water under carpet below the seat, drying this out solved the problem.
