Default ABS + SLIP/VSC light

Randomly got an ABS and either a SLIP or VSC off light (I don't remember which) a few days ago under slightly heavy acceleration out of a corner at LOW speeds. Lights stayed on (no flashing, etc) until I restarted the car. Haven't come on again since. Anyone had any similar experiences? Do i potentially have a sensor going bad? I can't find any comments on the combination of those two lights coming on....


Thanks in advance for any insight

Constructive criticism is useful. This is not. I clearly stated my exact symptoms and the exact lights thrown, which are completely different to your scenario. A search on the forum for title containing ABS = 1 thread. Full post = several hundred threads, none identical to my issue.

I am throwing no errors, no CEL's etc. Hence my concise explanation.

No news to report on my side, sadly. My light went off as soon as I restarted the car. Does yours come on right after you start the car again or only after moving?

your leveling sensors are out of specification. they are located in each wheel well behind the tires.

Curious- you are talking about a different sensor than the one used for the headlight leveling, correct?
