Default ESP and ABS light

they both came on yesterday while regular driving on my way home. i cant turn the ESP light off by just hitting the button either. i was wondering if anyone knows why both lights would come on at once and what are some things i can look at to fix this. thanks in advance--Nick

that happens when you unplug the MAF.. make sure it is plugged in.. if so, make sure it still works

Default Vag-Com what? engine codes?

also after i vag the code and reset them what can i do to get the esp and abs light to go off? disconnect the battery? will doing that get rid of the light atleast until they are tripped again? also I've been told it sounds like i lost a ground somewhere. sound accurate maybe?

yeah i'm pretty sure it was the module. but they had a hell of a time figuring out what was wrong.
