I've got the same issue. Took the car out last night for a run and noticed both TCS ans ABS light on, both are still on now, hoping its just a reset myself.

yes it quite common for maf to start playing up triggering both light, also if problem with abs sensor, both Traction and abs will not function as they are linked.
