Warning Light Question

I have an '06 Cabrio S and have been seeing the DSC and ABS lights come on together. They eventually go off with no noticeable issues. Does anyone know what these lights mean?

dodgy wheel speed sensor or steering angle module, either will bring up those lights together but usually bring up the brake light at the same time = 'trifecta lights' worth a Google. Have the codes read to find the real source.

The DCS and the ABS are the same. The ABS is the system and the DCS is the active traction control. If the DCS is not sensing all four wheels all the time, you will get these lights, so first step is to check the ABS wheel sensors. Sometimes it is just one of the sensor plugs, as they are a crappie plug system! The sensors also go out, as they are in high heat area.
