Possbily a fluke, or a wheel sensor is very slightly out ofadjustment. All are related, you need an (ABS compatible) scan tool toget the DTCs, and that will tell you what's up, and where.

All three of the mentioned items are all part of the same system.   It may be the control module or a sensor.  Best to get it checked under warranty as these parts can be very expensive.

Hi,Thanks for advice and help; appreciate it.One more question:Error msgs seem to be (very)intermittent.For the Dealership to get the codes, and a diagnosis, would the error message actually have to be appearing, or can they grab the error code at any time ?Would it be the same code in either case ?Regards, and thanks,Bob------------------------------------

The codes are in the computer of some period of time.   I'm not sure what the period is or number of cycles though.
