ABS and TCS Lights On

Make Acura
Year 1997
Model 3.2 TL

Bought this car recently. Love the way the car feels rock solid on the road.

The ABS light comes on sometimes. It's random.
2. Made a 30 mile trip for the first time today. Both ABS and TCS lights came on and stayed on. Came back and stopped at a place for some time. Started the car again and the lights were gone.

I did some more googling and everybody seemed to be jumping the Service Check Connector with a paper clip bent into a U shape to get the ABS light on the instrument panel to flash the stored codes - so that's exactly what I did. I groped around the passenger dash for the Blue SCS and found it. I had to depress a plunger to pull it out of it's protective casing. I put the the two ends of the paper clip into the female connectors and turned the ingnition key to [Did not start the engine - just turned it to ON to the position where all the lights come up on the instrument panel].

The ABS and TCS lights went crazy blinking. For a minute I thought they were connected and I was trying to read them in conjunction but then I assumed I have to look at each in isolation. So I sat and studied each light (ABS and TCS) for some time. Here's what they flashed back at me:

ABS
Long Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash
Pause
Long Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash
Pause
REPEAT OF THE ABOVE

I assume this converts to DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) - 13 and 14


TCS
Long Flash + Long Flash + Long Flash + Long Flash + Short Flash + Short Flash
Pause
Long Flash + Long Flash
Pause
REPEAT OF THE ABOVE

I assume this converts to DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) - 42 and 2

So here are the codes. The question is where do i go from here. Would you be able to help me figure out what these codes mean?

I am not too bothered about the TCS codes since that light has just come on once when the car had old tires. After I've changed the tires I haven't noticed the TCS light coming on but the ABS light does come on every so often.

Thanks for your help.
