Need your advice please

Hello everyone. I am a new forum member and im hoping to get some advice. So i have a 2012 x5 xdrive 35i. problem is the car shuts off about 10 minutes after i turn on the car and its idle. I have a basic scanner (autophix 7910) and i get codes: 6292 - EKPS; Control Voltage too low, 6293- EKPS; Control Current too high. The car turns on and i can actually drive it for about 10 minutes but it shuts off and theres a "Fuel Pump" waring on the idrive screen. After doing some research on diffrent platforms I had a few options to trouble shoot the problem. Unfortunately I dont have many tools to do some of the trouble shooting like: Checking the fuel pump for power and ground, Checking injectors and stuff like that. I did however replace the Fuel Rail Sensor but the problem stayed the same. I then purchsed a used EKPS module and installed it. I did not however Program/Code it to my vehicle. Although i did make sure that the part number was the same as my old Module. The car now does not shut off anymore. I drove for about an hour today and no signs of any issues. Do you fellas think the problem is fixed? Oh, I deleted the codes before i changed the Module and they are no longer there anymore. Do you fellas think it is crucial to "code" the module? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you for reading.
