Default Xc60 2010 ABS and DEM errors

Hi all I am after some help in faulting my xc60 awd d3 2010 which is getting 2 error codes 1: ABS-U043768 2: DEM-P096162 I have been looking all over online and through the forum but unable to find any information on the above fault codes.
Luckily the car is drivable but awd and abs lights are on and disabled.
I am expecting a DEM issue but wanted to ask if anyone has had the same issue before taking the car to a dealer.
Thanks in advance. Lee.

have you done any service recently like change transmission or gear oil? My bet is the dealer will point to the ABS module but it could also be a speed/wheel sensor. the ABS module from a dealer will be expensive so you may want to consider finding a used part. Not sure if the problem is common to 2010s but ABS modules on the older models are a known problem area caused by cracks in the solder for the circuit board components. Can you have the codes cleared to see if they reset or stay off for a bit?

Default Issue resolved

Thanks for the feedback, I thought I would write a bit more detail on the issue I was having and let you know how I resolved the issues incase anyone else has a similar the same issue in the future.
The two error codes I was getting from my obd scanning tool where:
1) ABS-U043768 with message "invalid data reviewed from four wheel drive clutch control module"
2) DEM-P096163 with message "pressure regulator solinoid a pressure control circuit within/outside the limit.

The two errors once I had cleared them would repeat when driving the car after a couple of miles and I cleared the errors about 4 times. The car would disable awd and abs service light would show.

To resolve the issue I located the DEM module on the rear axle under the car and disconnected cables connected to the unit and simply cleaned the termination on the DEM and the plugs.
Now the car is running fine and I have no errors!
A result as I thought I would have to purchase a new DEM!
