08 SS/TC - ESC Malfunctions

I have a 2008 SS/TC with not quite 3000 miles.

I do have a Hahns tune although this has been happening LONG before that. Problem is that it's random so I can't predictably take it to the dealer knowing when it's going to act up.

It always happens a little while after I've started the car and begun driving. Usually in the first 5 minutes, but it can be in 30 seconds or 4 1/2 minutes.
In the driver info display it says the following:

"Service ESC - ESC off - Service Traction - Traction off - Service brakes"

Sometimes it remains on until I shut off the car and restart it. Sometimes it will remain on even if I do that. If it doesn't go away when I shut off the car or if I just don't turn the car off it will eventually go away on it's own.

It's getting really F*$&ing annoying. But I know the dealer won't touch it until I can bring it in that way.

Anyone have some ideas of things I might be able to look for on my own?

To give you an idea of my limitations... I can change oil, brakes, anti sway bars.. or I've taken off a valve cover to repair a leak. Things like that... but not head removal or turbo swaps or stuff like that.

Thanks!
