12, 51, 55, 63 all in the front board.  Covers ABS, ASC, DSC.  I think HDC uses the ABS system to drive the brakes.

What warning lights are on, if any?

HDC only works at very low speed and if memory serves only comes on if selected when stationary.  The DSC button needs a long press (several seconds).

Steering angle sensor warning could be the tracking has been adjusted and is now out of calibration, or the sensor on the front axle has failed.  Both are common.

Someone on here had just this only a couple of weeks back.  A search should pull it up.  :)
