X5M Parking Brake Issue

Hey Guys,

2012 X5M - typical yellow P warning on the dashboard. I'm able to release the brake via the pull in the rear hatch and drive the car, no issues there.

I've tried the parking brake reset procedure - no change.
Codes read 6DDB and 6DDC. Tried clearing the codes - no change.

Strangely, my next step was disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes and reconnecting. Voila, the parking brake was back on! This leads me to believe that either the function in the actuator is intermittent, or there's something electrical between the actual button module and actuator itself.

The brake re-applying itself threw me a curveball...if it turned back on after battery reset it cant be the module can it? Anyone have any further ideas before I start randomly replacing things?
