Most likely to be brake light switch Or gear position switch - is it manual or auto?

Manual. If could get the light to stay on once at home I'd stick it on the diagnostics

No ABS light coming on with that? Maybe a yaw sensor thing?

Does your diagnostic show live data from the sensors? That could be helpful in tracking down intermittent faults where it doesn't set a code, or maybe only a pending code which clears itself.

Don't think that has anything to do with the switch by the gear shift as you have both the TC and HDC lights lit - ie 2 Amigos.

Can you not get her to drive and you read the diagnostics while lights are on?

However, what are you using to read the codes? If you're just reading the 'standard' ODB codes they won't be returned - these lights are thrown by the ABS ECU not the engine's ECU. You will need a diag device that you know will talk to the ABS ECU.

Knowing if it is a petrol or diesel would be helpful
The brake light switch is easy changed, so check that first.

See what codes are stored with the diagnostic
