Default ESP and ABS sensors...

Ok, i've brought my A6 in 3 times to have the sensors checked due to them turning on, and this week it came on 3 times, weird times too, mostly when parked. One time it came on while driving and it flashed, stayed on for a few seconds, then turned off. Something loose? Need sensors replaced?? What's going on? Thanks...

Default well, the ABS light shouldn't blink unless there's a prolbem...

I'd hook into it with a VAG COM or other 1551/1552 type scanner and see what the ABS system is complaining about..

Welp, there's a problem then. Turned the car on and ESP and ABS light went off. Got home, car off, turned it on again, lights dissapear, never went on again. What's up with this?
