Warning lights
Hi all, had a great and quick drive home from work. Left a noisy Audi in my wake. Then was greeted with the warning lights as shown in the picture.
I have not turned my DTC or DSC off and i do not have run flats.
Any ideas fellow Zed heads?

Hi, that tyre warning light can be lit without runflat tyres fitted as it’s a low pressure warning!
The combination of lights you have can either be a faulty wheel speed sensor or a faulty ABS pump i think?
You need to get the codes read

I was given a code reader with the car. Will have a play in the morning. Is it still ok to drive?

It could be your battery needs a charge, it happens to me (DTC) when the battery is low. I just reset the lights and hook up the triple charger

I had these lights coming on intermittently for a while. Checked the codes, charged the battery, checked the tyres and they still kept coming back until..... they just stopped and never came back. Thought it might be the DSC\ABS as made sure I activated it a few times on a muddy verge. Maybe not the cause or solution but they went away and so far haven't come back. I asked the main stealer and they had no idea so no change there.

The ABS pressure sensors will be the main culprit (well at least one of them). Easy and cheap to change (the aftermarket Ebay ones work just fine, so change both). Shouldn't even need to bleed brakes afterwards if you do it quickly and get someone to press the pedal just before you nip it up. Usually they go intermittent so you will probably find lights will disappear for a while if reset only to come back on again later.
The pressure sensors don't normally bring on the tyre pressure warning though so that will be related to the steering angle sensor. I would just do the pressure sensors for now and clear all the codes to see what comes back. If the steering angle one comes back on do a steering calibration in INPA. If that doesn't fix it then it is new steering angle sensor time (pain in the arse).
