Had both lights come on but car still started. Pulled batter cable for about 30 minutes to reset lights. Problem was brake pedal switch.

BAS, ESP, ABS are all suppose to go on at the same time. Mine went on last Wednesday. Turns out the ESP had some faults on the sensor. It's at the dealership now. My car however was driveable.

I just had same happen on my car 98 e430. I was pulling out of a parking making a sharp u-turn and all of the lights lit up like a christmas tree ESP, ABS, indicationg malfunction but the car was still running fine. I pulled over and restarted with and the problem was gone and no errors. I had almost no gas and was on a reserve and was just pulling into a gas station. Strange.
