Dashboard display mystery - need help!

My car is a 1999 9-5 SE (V6) with only 50,000 miles, and I am the original owner. The dashboard display is doing something really goofy. While driving along, all of a sudden the brake display light, the ABS light, the "attention" warning triange light, and the "TCS off" light will come on. These messages will stay on for usually about 5 minutes, and then the letters "TCS" that are located in the tachometer will come on for only a moment, a bell will ring and every thing will return to normal. During the time that these "warning" lights are on, the speedometer and the odometer (and the trip odometer) will not operate. The speedometer needle drops to 0, even though the car is moving!
I have brought the car to the Saab dealer, and they have checked the car with the Tech II, but whatever is happening does not display a fault code. They think it may be either an ABS wheel sensor, or the ABS controller, but since there is no code, they cannot be sure (unless they just keep replacing parts). They have asked me to bring the car to them when the display is malfunctioning, but since this only happens for a short time, it is seemingly not possible. (The length of time the display malfunctions seems to be getting longer, so maybe it will stay on long enough for them to be able to retrieve a code)
Has anyone else seen this type of malfunction, and if so, what was it. The assistance of Saabnet will be appreciated.
Thanks.
AMF
