ABS/Traction Control Issue

About a week ago I was at a light waiting to turn left. Once light went green, I was a bit overly enthusiastic about my application of the accelerator pedal and made the tires squeal a bit during the turn. Next thing I know my dash is going crazy with a blinking parking brake light, solid traction control light (I have an 09 so it normally blinks when you turn traction control "off"), and a solid ABS light. I pull over, turn the car off, turn it back on, all lights gone. Well same thing happened again today when I was on the on-ramp to a highway and was going fast enough to get the tires to make some noise. Again, pulled over, turned car off, turned back on, all lights gone.

This time when I got home I hit it with some Vag-Com and got this:

Any ideas? The "Component: ESP MK60EC1 H35 0104" part makes me think it's something to do with traction control, but don't know beyond that.

Did you check your brake fluid level?

You can try running the ABS diagnostics in VAGCOM and see what the ABS pump does.

I have had the same issue happen twice on my 09. My lights came on the same way as the original poster mentioned. The only difference for me was that they came on making hard right hand turns. I noticed that my brake fluid was a little low after the first time it happened, I topped it up and it has happened once since.

same here, but it was after a burnout before i got new tires mounted. turned ESP off and just did a 1st gear burnout, nothing crazy. then im on my way to the shop and both lights turn on and stay on. still the same way now (3 days later). Stock brakes.
