Only did it once. Any one else have this happen? This light known to fail? Sensor? Car having her period?

Default

Stability or brake? Almost sounds like a low fluid issue.

Default I assumed Stability. It was the yellow encircled exclaimation point symbol.

That is the stability, right? It flashed on and off while coasting around a corner at a low speed, and when calmly accelerating out of it.

Default

did one of the wheels run over a manhole cover or something slick?

Default 100% positive. It's a turn I have driven over for six years.

There are no manhole covers, dips, or anything. It's just a normal right hand turn onto another street. This morning, it did it again, but on a different right hand turn. No flashing though, just a solid symbol for about three seconds, then off. Speed was around 5-7 mph. I don't get it.

Default I wonder if it's a wheel speed indicator going bad. Can you read a code

from the appropriate module using a VAG?

Are speed indicators located on each wheel? This morning, it did it again. But this time it was going up a driveway into a parking lot. No codes, just the symbol for a few seconds...

Default Yes, each corner has a sensor, so it can detect wheel slippage and shift torque.

It's just a guess.

Default I'm guessing that sensor is just a sensor for notifying the driver correct?

has nothing to do with the AWD system?
