Thats something up with the parking brake with those codes, reset the codes and try this : hold the park brake lever down 5 seconds, release 1 second. that resets the parking brake.

Rumbling when driving

Had this on my sprinter van and it was a front caliper sticky......but not enough to make it pull to one side.....was like it about six months until it finally started to stick properly and you could notice it pull and the centre of the wheel was rather hot.....
