The combination of ABS, ASC,DSC, and TPMS lights is the classic symptom of a bad wheel speed sensor. My wife had the same thing happen with her car, but I don't remember if she got the "service engine soon" light as well. I think a bad steering angle sensor can also give similar symptoms.
I don't know how mechanically-inclined you are, but since the wheel speed sensors are exposed to the elements, they're often just dirty rather than failed. You might be able to remove, clean and reinstall them to clear up your problem. If one or more *are* bad, you could do the replacement yourself for much less than the dealer would charge.

Unfortunately the problem is reoccuring. It was taken out for a drive and all the lights from the three indicators to the service engine soon lights came on and remain lit. My father thinks it could possibly be from one of the sensors that isn't screwing on fully. The other three are, but one will not. Do you all think that might be the reason for the headache? Also, we obtained records of the maintenance the original owner had performed when taken to the dealer and three or four times it says something about the tire indicator light. I am not sure if this is due to the actual tire indicator that needed to be reinitialized and she just didn't know how to reinitialize it or if it is something more like what we are experiencing. Any suggestions?
