generally it means that your traction control and active stability control are not working. there are a plethora of posts and feeds on this topic

here is one to start you off

XJR02 beat me to it...

That'll be a mucky wheel speed sensor or abs unit needing soldering. Also, an old battery can cause these. Those messages relate to a malfunction, with Traction control not available, and automatic stability control not available.
To fix it, you need to clean between all 4 wheel speed sensors at the back of each wheel hub, and their castilated wheels. If this doesn't clear the warnings, then the next stage is to remove the abs pump module and re-solder the motor pickups. First is easy, second is not as easy but doable if handy with a soldering iron, there's plenty of info on here with many guys doing both fixes.

Sean, you probably gave tudorwin a heart attack with that response.
