I had the same lights on, it was the right rear speed sensor. Changed it myself, cheap and easy to do

My 2018 Golf R was doing the some thing similar . I already had a new battery, so wasn't that. Turned out it was front left speed sensor.
Pros: new speed sensor
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I’ve used Hella brand on my 2016 Jetta on two occasions for the rear sensors. Lights went off both times. They were less than $20 apiece when I bought them.
Pros: lights went off, reliable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Did you replace the speed sensor with OEM part? I think they are ATE brand but that was on my 2016 passat. I had put in aftermarket speed sensors at one point which were doing exact thing you are experiencing. Changed to OEM ate part and everything was perfect.
Pros: everything was perfect
Cons: aftermarket sensors problematic
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I just purchased a 2011 Tiguan SE last week and fell in love with it, until my ABS, parking, airbag, traction control lights, and steering light came on. My cruise control also stopped working. I did some research on this thread and took my car to the dealership yesterday and referred the mechanic to look at the speed sensors first to save him some steps. Sure enough, it was the speed sensors.
Pros: speed sensors fixed issue
Cons: lights came on
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I had all of these lights come on as well. I ran a VCDS scan and found that it was a bad ABS/Wheel speed sensor on the front driver side. So i took it out and cleaned it off with brake cleaner, let it soak for a short bit then reinstalled. The warning lights all went away.
Pros: lights went away
Cons: sensor was clogged
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had the connectors inside the harness for the speed sensor on the diff corrode away and found that there's a brand of bullet connectors with heatshrink that fit perfectly into the Volvo connector.
Pros: fit perfectly
Cons: corrode away
Vehicle:
Volvo 940
I had a C200 CDI, diesel is great. If anything breaks on this car prepare to throw it away. Gearbox is $20k. Mine lost a speed sensor and that was $2k.
Pros: diesel is great
Cons: unidentified mechanical issue
There is a persistent electrical buzzing \u201czzzzzzzz\u201dnoise whenever the ignition is on. This happens both when it's just on battery and when the engine is running. I noticed that the noise becomes intermittent when the turn signals are on (syncs with the clicking). Also, the speed exceeded sensor failure warning keeps popping up.
Cons: persistent electrical buzzing noise
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Well, the new speed sensor didn't get rid of the ABS/Traction Control/Airbag/Steering lights. I even cleaned off the tone ring. We were able to get the TPMS light to go off. Not sure how we managed that.
Pros: TPMS light went off
Cons: lights didn't go off
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
