Vdm under voltage

Hi guys I have posted previously regarding a chassis error fault that is currently showing on my 2014 X3 30d.
I have had it checked today and below is a list of codes that came up.
Specialist cleared the last four codes, but couldn’t clear the vdm undervoltage code.
Specialist says further investigation is required to find reason behind vdm undervoltage, anyone have a clue what it could be causing it??

DCT. Description

482881. VDM undervoltage.

482A28. Valve coil - rear left - short circuit terminal 15 / terminal 30.

482A2A. Valve coil - rear left - open circuit.

482A2F. Valve coil - rear right - short circuit, valve.

482A38. Valve coil - rear left - current regulator plausibility error.

How many miles is on your vehicle and what the hell is a VDM?

Anyways, check out this video


You need some new shocks and programming.

Fuse maybe. Check the plugs on the coils as well. Those are the exact same codes I got when I intentionally unplugged and removed my coils.

Dealer is saying the fault is water ingress into the vdc1 causing the short circuit and under voltage.

They are changing it free of charge as the short circuit codes cleared and only left the VDM under voltage which he is 100% sure is due to water ingress even though we couldn’t see any signs of water.

I too think it’s a dodgy sensor on either one of the rear suspension so will check that when I get a break from working ( long hours ).

Thanks for your replies lads
