OH just got on ABS, Traction Control, Tyre Pressure and Seat belt warning lights all at the same time, and they stayed on for about 1 min

She was doing a ken block on some dusty dirt before joining a main road

I have seen traction control lights come and and ABS but not all 4 at once, does it need looking at?

I have a very similar problem.

I have an x-reg A6 and recently all the electronics have failed. No central locking. Boot/doors locked. Only drivers door opens with key. Headlights work, but internal lights not.

A friend said it may be the ECU. Others say it's not. Any advice?

It'd help if you could confirm which car, but ABS, Traction Control, Tyre Pressure are all going to be ESP I reckon. Seatbelt light seems odd though, that can only be a sensor issue

Likewise.

IIRC it's under the carpet, under the passenger seat (rhd) on those, but check.

I would be looking to see if you have any water leaks into the cabin while you are at it. If there is, you'll find water and corrosion in the CCM, the plugs onto the CCM, and the wiring immediately upstream of it.

May not be an economic repair at garage labour rates. frown Clean and dry everything thoroughly, and see how it goes.
