DSC/Tire pressure light

The other day both my DSC light and Tire pressure light came on while my sister was driving the car. She stopped and checked each tire, but they were all at the exact same pressure. In the past few days i've checked and rechecked and nothings changed. Any ideas what this all might mean? I cant reset the tire pressure gauge and flicking the DSC switch has no effect either...

Whatever.

This is a common problem but seems to easily correct itself.

A Search with the words "DSC and fault" produced this existing thread covering the problem:
http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...=dsc+and+fault

One theory of the cause has to do with an ABS wheel sensor temporarily affected by water (from rain, car wash, etc.).

As the topic is covered extensively in the tread referenced above, I'm closing this thread to avoid duplicate posts.

Thanks.
