HELP Please ABC ESP ABS errors

I have an 06 S65 with 60K miles, bought it a year ago with 52k milesI replaced coil packs, plugs, CPS and transmission conductor plate during this time. Just two days ago, she began throwing ABC, ABS, ESP errors. I was close to home, made it back but did feel some tightness in the steering. There's been no drop in suspension level, not visible leaks. I did see some a little spray on the inside driver side wheel well about 3 months ago which looked very dark, though it was oil but it evaporated barely leaving a stain so I figured it's from the heat exchange system. Bought a new HE pump, will address that in the near future with a flush.



Please advise the steps I should take to trouble shoot the ABC error problem. I plan on buying a DAS setup to get codes.



Reset system by disconnecting battery ect ?

Replace brake switch?
Flush ABC system and replace filter?
Corner sensors?



Thanks in advance

dirt could have gotten on your wheel sensor causing it trigger off and disable the abs esp etc. Happened to me twice driving through heavy snow this winter. it goes away once dirt or snow or ice on the sensor is gone.
hope this helps if it is the case with yours.

Thanks for your input. I hope it's something that easy. Which sensor are you referring to?

One of your wheel sensors has failed. Take it to a mechanic who'll tell you which one. Mine was the left rear.
