ABS, Flat tire, and DSC lights are all ON

Hello All,

I have a Mar 2004 MCS with DSC.

I did some searching around, but wasn't able to find any topic that closely describes what I'm encountering, so I thought I will start a new thread.

My problem is that all three lights (ABS, Flat Tire, and DSC) have been coming on all at the same time. Upon re-starting the car, the lights will turn off until the next time they come on. Here is what I noticed:

- they come on when it is cold and foggy outside and hardly come on when it is sunny.
- they come on when it rains.
- under the above two circumstances, the lights usually comes on when I'm turning left or going straight. Haven't notice it comes on when I'm turning right.

I read other threads related to this problem and the guy suggested that one of the wheel sensors could be bad, so I took some time to measure the resistances between the poles of each sensor and they were all about the same.

Any suggestion is welcomed as my car already has 65k miles on it and it is out of warranty, but I love it so much.

Thanks!!!

Second vote for wheel speed sensor, A MINI technician told me that you can measure the resistance of all the sensors and still not find the bad one.

I guess it is a trip to the dealer. If any have other suggestions, I will gladly take them.

Could this have something to do with my car being out of wheel alignment? Could that be cause things to come on?
