Thanks for your reply, yes the following dashboard light also came on- Airbag, Engine, Triangluar Amber, Navigation (Map Sensor) lights. I was told that this could had been caused by when I had the battery replaced. Any truth to that?

The cars are very sensitive to voltage excursions and it may well have caused this issue, yes.

In respond to your reply, yes the ASC light came on along with the airbag and odometer malfunction. Any advise on what I am dealing with? What can I do? Also, the car's acceleration seemed to show lack of power. Could this be due to the ASC?

The ASC/DSC issue may be caused by an internal fault in the ASC/DSC module and this fault often presents with faults for the front wheel sensors. At the dealer we replaced many of them under warranty. I am not sure of the perceived issue of poor performance, it is possible it is related to the ASC/DSC issue, but I cant be sure from cyberspace.
