After 15 mins of driving, I get this..

Commonly known as the three amigos, most common issue is the dsc module but proper dx is needed first if it's a right rear wheel speed sensor swap the sensors left to right clear faults see what happens, if the right side faults comes back, could be the module if the fault move to the left side it would be the wheel speed sensor, but need faults first
Are you getting these lights that are also accompanied by a limp speedometer? (Speedometer not moving when accelerating)

Actually far more commonly known as "the trifecta", but 'three amigos' is cute.
Scan codes worthwhile also but search on ABS or DSC trifecta and you'll get a load of stuff.

Yeah, Trifecta, inspect all the wheel speed sensors, look for dry rotted cable shielding, if rotted, or cracked off, the copper corrodes, and resistance comes to be. Change them out with oem, the eBay turds are just that, turds.
As for The Three Amigos, that is true, only if you start the car up and the stereo starts playing "My Little Buttercup".

Mechanic claims it's a bad abs module. So I'm sending it off to to these guys who say they can repair: https://www.autoecu.com/
Beware cheapo module rebuilders. BBA Reman are the guys w/ best rep, lifetime warranty ("to orig purchaser" that is..., since some cheapo dingus recently whined like a crybaby when he found out the used car he bought had one of theirs but they wouldn't honor the warranty unless the orig purch sent it back).

I just had one of these and it was a wheel sensor. A quick check of stored DSC codes showed which one. Hopefully your mechanic did the same... For the life of me I don't know why my original module is still good after 178K miles. Needless to say, I've been doing some research on this. Lots of good stuff out there on DSC/ABS module rebuilding. Finding a cheap conductive glue is key b/c the connections that always break due to long time thermal cycling are ultrasonically made and won't take solder. I'll probably have a go at mine when it dies and buy a new one/re-code if (when, more likely) I screw it up...

I got the ABS module back from https://www.autoecu.com/. Paid for a repair. Drove it once and no more warning lights. I hope it stays this way...
Congrats!

I just sent my son's Saab 9-5 Aero ABS module to BBA and it was repaired and waiting for the shipper to pick it up the same day they got it. The cost was about $139 for the repair and with shipping and insurance it was about $179. Supposed to be delivered on Monday.
