I TOOK MY CAR AND HAD THE CODES CHECKED  AT MY LOCAL BMW DEALER AND THE CODES
CHECKED OUT TO BE MY SECONDARY AIR PUMP, SO I CHANGED THE PUMP WITH A USED

It appears that your keyboard caps haven't been cleared since they got
stuck.
May I suggest you to use small letters instead ?
Then I'll be able to read your e-mail and possibly to answer it.

TIA

I may assume that after a repair is done, the memory code area needs to be
cleared.
Refer to the thread related to the brake pads which the warning light
remained on after replavement.
On e-bay there are tools to deal with the OBC. Have a look.
BTW did you make a search on Google ?

This link although Volvo related might gives you some clues.

It's also possible that the air valve might be defective.  Clear the
codes, and if that doesn't work, change the valve.

Look at e-bay and make a query with "OBD BMW" (without the " ")
