Warning light ASC Warning light and the flat tire light are both on. Have tried several times to turn ignition on, off, put car into reverse, drive slow...the lights are usually on, but occasionally go off. What can I expect is the real problem and the cost of the solution?

Check the tire pressures..see if any are below 30 psi..in cold weather, they use nitrogen to inflate tires due to its lack of effects from these temperature changes..these new cars will tell you if your tires are either too much pressure or too low.. its a safety feature .. you can put air in them and that light should go out.. try to set them at 32-35 psi..the variance in readings will affect this also by 3-5 psi..in these conditions check once a week or so..remember rubber does not seal entirely on alloy wheels..in some cases where a tire is consistently low, you may need to take it in and have the tire "glued" to the rim..
