TPMS and DSC lights on, No ABS light

OK, I've looked all over the forums and have really only found one other person with this problem but he never posted the end result of what his issue was. So I bought the car broken with to bad water pump drive gears and so I really only got to drive it about 200 feet before I tore it apart. I did notice that the TPMS light was on but I didn't notice the DSC light on. Upon completion of fixing the car and reconnecting the battery I had both the TPMS and DSC lights on but not the ABS like most people. I tried doing the TPMS reset but that didn't do anything. I think I'm going to start with wheel speed sensors first. Does anyone have any knowledge of this specific combination? Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Brendan

Resetting the TMPS: hit the button befor you start driving, then it can take up to 20 mintes for the TMPS to go off. Then look into the Wheel Speed Sensors.

The DSC, could be a related issue, if the wheel speed sensors are acting up it can't tell how fast the wheels are turning or if there is a difference between wheels turning.

So ... yes, maybe it is the Wheel Speed Sensors.

Good luck.

Motor on!

If resetting the TPMS doesn't clear the two lights your car could have a faulty steering angle sensor.

Is there an easy way to test the steering angle sensor? Maybe with a volt meter?

Not sure as mine was replaced by a dealer under warranty after they verified that a fault was recorded in memory.
