    Sorry mate, haven't seen it before, but clearly suspension, either physical issue with the systems, or an ecu/sensor issue. Hopefully bad sensor, normally is. Have you tried the system reset in the owners manual?, that's the first place I'd start, as whenever I've had error codes, a 'spanner check' of related areas, and if that fails, reset, tends to work.

    Before you do the reset , I would check all tyre pressures, make sure brakes and wheels clean and free of any dust and rubbish, and all bolts tight. You know how sensitive these cars can get.

    Could just be a spanner check and reset will clear it, but once the reset done, if it clears, drive it a few miles and let the sensors all register a few reports to the ecu to check its working smoothly again.

    Hi Simon, thanks for fast reply, at first I think could be the cause of the battery, so I change to a new battery. After I change it, it still the same.

    Could it be the shock absorber?

    Manetino warning light. Could be many things but the spiral contact behind the steering wheel failing is common.

    Disconnect the battery for half an hour. Reconnect it, drive the. At, if the light comes on when the steering wheel is turned either way it's likely the spiral contact is the cause.

    You really need a proper diagnostic check before carpet-bombing it with parts though..

    Check the negative battery cable connections, i was having ghost alarms traced to poor connections on the negative side.
    Disconnect the battery cables, connect a multimeter to the negative battery clamp and to an earth point under the cover behind the seat. Do the same with the positive cables. Measure the resistance ohms- my negative lead was over twice the resistance of the positive lead. Remake the connections on the high resistance lead. It may be losing voltage due to poor connections.

    Failed ABS sensor on front offside wheel. The sensor is part of the wheel bearing around £350 for the part plus tax and a couple of hours labour. Not too terrible.
