Crap! Gotta go to the dealer!

Argh....started it up last night and again today and my SKID light is on solid and my DSC light keeps blinking. No CEL though.

*Do you think there's a code that we can read on a reader?

*Guess...Wheel sensor trouble?

*Maybe I'll try disco'ing the battery to see if the DSC CPU resets?

Thoughts?

with ignition on, but don't start, turn wheel all the way left, then all the way right (or vise versa) then start?

I've heard of that before. Just tried...no change.

If it helps, these lights act this way with ignition on and engine not started. And then of course they continue after the startup.
