I posted up about a similar problem. On mine, one of the ABS sensors broke and since the entire system is linked, you get errors in abs/tcs/tp lights - all were yellow. Tyre pressures, brake fluid etc were all ok.

Replaced under warranty.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
