Default All those lights and beeps!! Help!!

My 2000 Turbo has the following lights on constantly on the dash, EPC, ABS, BRAKE, and a few more I can't remember. They came on during an A/C charge. The BRAKE light flashes and beeps all the time - very annoying. It stops beeping when I put my foot on the brake and stop. How do I turn them off?

Gotta scan/reset them with a VAGCOM Tool. Dealers/someone local to your area in the HOW-TO VAGCOM Sharing thread can do this for you. The ABS/Brake means an ABS failure of some kind, not so sure about the EPC.

I am having more or less the same problem on my sisters beetle. I was working on the AC which no longer works, I think the compressor went bad. A friend of mine said to look at the High pressure relay switch after I did that the car started with both the EPC and the brake light on permanatly. The car doesn't start beeping until it goes over roughly 10mph. Is this VAGCOM tool the answer. If so how hard is it to scan reset. Also KansasDeisel were are you from in Kansas, I'm in Olathe.
Thanks
Adam

Your close, I work in Olathe and live past the raceway.
It's easy to scan and easy to reset.

I just don't reset if there is a problem. If he contacts me we will first see if there are any codes and if I can't figure out the problem with that I will be on here or TDI Club, trying to find the answer.... Thanks for the concern
