"DRive to workshop"

Earlier tonight I was driving in my TT Cab and the warning light came on and said "drive to workshop" and that the ABS and PSM were not operating. I stopped for gas and when I restarted the car the warning was gone and the car seemed fine.

Any ideas on what might cause it.

Should I bring it in for service or wait and see if it happens again?

Did you notice anything about the engine such as sputtering or a rough idle at the time?

Same thing happened to me! Hopefully, the reason is different for you. My Turbo is parked outside, and I did not drive it for about 2-3 weeks. Well, it was hot and some mice made their home in my engine compartment. They chewed one of my wiring harnesses! It cost over $2000 for repair! Man, I was ready to go get a herd of cats and let them go all over the neighborhood
