Default Suspension warning

Need a bit of advice. The suspension waring comes up on my dash every now and then. Sometimes when I engage sport mode it will go off, but not all the time, not sure if this is related or not.

Cheers

Is this just the traction warning? And does it go off by itself or stay on?

It is normal to sometimes see this warning flash if you are driving with a little enthusiasm, especially on turns or on slippery surfaces. Just telling you it is doing it's job. Putting it in sport mode slows this down some. Turning off traction control I think stops it altogether.

If it is staying on for an extended time or while stopped, then research may be in order.

Mike,
Yes it is, will come on when you stop and then goes off by itself. Does not happen all the time though. I will check the battery and sensor this weekend as I have seen this else where in the forum as potential cause.

Flaky wheelspeed sensor might be causing this. If so, it'll be logged in the OBD.

Gave the sensors a quick unplug. Went for a decent run yesterday. Suspension fault only came only when I was pushing things a bit. So guess it is as Mike suggests, it is telling me in is working.
Thanks chaps.

Burra,

Excellent! Let's hope that is indeed the case and everything is OK.
