    I was out driving last night and my suspension light when on, I didn’t feel anything wrong and after a moment it went away. Pulled over restarted the car and all went away. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Check the shock actuator sometimes the wires get twisted and that will set off suspension light...

    My technician came up with a permanent fix for that problem. try doing a search you'll get a lot more information :)

    Usually, if voltage is low, it can come on for a second. If the car has not been run for a long time or if revs are low etc.

    I had the same problem - an F'Chater suggested it may be a battery or alternator issue. Turned out to be a couple of bad cells in the battery - new battery, no problem!

    As you can see your actuator wire is getting twisted keep an eye on it :)

    it's not that bad right now, if it starts setting off the suspension light then you have take action. Mine were so bad I had to change them....Ferrari price $1000.00 :) I bought a few off of ebay.
    Once my tech came up with the fix it never happened again.
    You can search twisting actuator and read all about the problem.

    pop off the clip pull off the actuator and place it back on in another position, easy....may have to remover the air boxes to get at it...15 to 20 min per side to get at them with unfettered access

    Thanks. I think if you spread a few zip ties it may prevent from twisting in the future.

    I perform my own fluid services and just make it part of my annual check prior to spring driving...makes it easy
