    My 550 displayed the light. Going on the dealer computer tomorrow.
    If the light was false, will the light go out or does it have to be reset ?
    Normally is this warning a big problem ?
    Thanks

    Sometimes when you park the car on an uneven surface you can get the suspension warning light. That's happened to me twice parked in the same spot at a gas station that has a raised cement strip by the pumps. My passenger side wheels were on the strip and driver side wheels were not. The strip is only 3/4" high!

    I went over several speed bumps today at a shop. I was waiting for a shot of air to clean out my a/c . The air worked great.
    Did the light go away or did the dealer have to clear it.
    Thanks

    Speed bumps will do it, especially going slow and diagonally over them.

    I got the suspension light at the gas station when I started the car after filling up. I pulled over to a level surface and shut the car down. I restarted immediately and the suspension light did not come on. The same thing happened a few months later when I parked the same way at the pumps. I did the same maneuver as the first time and the light didn't come on.

    I haven't seen that light since. I remember to park completely on the cement strip when I go to that station.

    Yes, I think the car is probably just showing you that it's bored from going slow :D

    The problem was a bad SHOCK ACTUATOR. Does anybody know what it does. It cost over a $1000.00 for the part. I hope I don't need 3 more soon.

    It might be nothing more than a twisted wire. See this thread: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=311586
