If I remember correctly this is typical eroor after power failure. Connect some diagnostics tool and read the errors.

I did use OBD to see any errors and came up with 0 errors 

@RAKU83 My memory also says "Charge circuit failure". I'm surprised you don't have a list of about 30 faults though.

As above, these warning all light up when there is undervoltage in the controllers.

 

Were you actually driving and had the lights come on then? Does your alternator still work o.k.?

That's very strange and I think you must have done something wrong with the diagnosis. Errors which pop up like yours are always logged and can be read with software like VCDS.

Advice: Go to a capable garage and have them scan your car with the proper software.


For the cause: Apart from undervoltage, a problem with the ABS-sensors (sensor, wiring or ring) could also cause this.

"seems"? How have you determined that? What is the voltage during starting and during driving?

Thanks a lot everyone....it was ABS sensor

An ABS sensor would leave a DTC though.
