Going by the fact your DSC is working but interfering too much, my guess would be the DSC YAW/speed sensor has had better days.
ABS, Tyre Warning, Brake Warning and SMG light along with the DSC warning lights all lit up while driving over in Germany.
Stop, switch off car, re start. All still illuminated until I started to move upon which they all went out except the SMG which would stay yellow until around 35 - 40mph at which point it would also go out. All fine until i started to "push" the car again where that dreaded beep would sound and i had a disco on the dash again

Could be a few things off the top of my head ...

wheel speed sensor, steering angle sensor (might just be a recalibration), ABS module, DSC module, DSC relay, longitudinal accelerator sensor (might just need a reset), Battery or alternator playing havoc on your electricals, or even low brake fluid (although unlikely)

Did you change tyres recently? Have you done the pull back the pedal reset thingee?
Tom as I said above in this reply to Niall's post the ABS, Tyre Warning, Brake Warning and SMG light along with the DSC all lit up over in Germany numerous times but this most recent issue its only been the DSC light

Do the reset thingie every time I swap my wheels so can rule that out. Brake fluid is also ok as that was checked due to that light coming on

Car is booked in at the end of the week so we shall see what sort of report comes back
