Did you ever figure out what it was? I have the same warning on my dad's car. But when I plugged in the scanner, I get a P0221 error code.

The light sensor may just be dirty. Covered by a black plastic square located right behind the rear view mirror

It did say, "Drive to workshop." So, my guess cleaning the sensor is not it. But I'll clean it.

Well my car gives me the light sensor warning but because I removed the sensor since I'm still in the middle of a project

The "Drive to workshop" directly attached to the sensor message is new to me
