So the ABS, ESP and suspension lights have come on at once about 5 times today after turning the car off and going again. Did it earlier in the week too...

Any thoughts as to what may be the root cause? Sensors?

1. Tech couldn't replicate the issue. They scanned, and came up with NO codes.

2. For some reason, module wasn't communicating with the scanner. He said that the tech had to reprogram the module altogether.

3. SA told me to just bring it in WHEN they do reappear, while the lights are on, they'll pull the code, and move forward with it.

4. I don't have the paperwork on me, but it did mention that in order to communicate with the module, they had to select an "older" year. Not too sure what that means.

It's definitely a common issue with the allroad,

Boy, this problem is REALLY common and still dealerships are clueless to it!

I had all three a few weeks back. When they are on, try to turn off the ESP..you should find that you can't. The lights would come on approxiamately 6 minutes into driving and go off every time the car was turned off. A search in the forum indicated a Leveling Sensor. Called the dealer, explained the lights, and they said it was most likely the sensor. Dealer replaced it. Problem solved. The key was the inability to turn on or off the ESP during this condition.
