DBC DSC Malfunction in rain

Hey everyone - twice now I've seen a DBC and DSC malfunction warning while driving in the rain, with the brake light lit up yellow in the dash. I've seen a lot of topics about this but they include other abs, traction, startup issues etc.

The error goes away with a restart and I dont notice anything odd with the car. I do have a warranty so I can just bring it to the dealer but wondering what people think here.

2013 135is with 55k miles I've had for 4 months. It's been about a month in between occurances, so not sure if something is failing or maybe just a dirty sensor... heard even low battery can be an issue.

Thanks!

Just sounds like a wheel speed sensor shorting out in water.

So if I bring it into a dealer on some random dry day where I haven't seen the error for a month would they be able to diagnose anything?

Feels like one of those times where they say you need a new battery! and $400 later I have the same error next time its raining.
