Yesterday I started the car and ABC red light came on-drive carefully. I never had problems with it before, nor the car drops on any corner if it's parked for a long time. The ride felt very bouncy and the raising buttons were not operating. Other then taht the car was still sitting at the same level. I assume it went into Limp mode. I drove to the dealer and I'm waiting to hear from them.
What would cause this , usually people report other sympthoms before getting the drive carefully message.
The only think I can think of is that I had it lowered an inch at the dealer with SDS few weeks ago. Any help is appreciated.
p.s I do have Aftermarket premium warranty from Mercury for another 3 years but like any other warranty I'm not sure what is or what is not covered.
Any unput is appreciated.Thanks!

If the buttons don't work, maybe the pump is FUBAR....let us know what the dealer says.

Thanks for the responses, I searched a lot before I posted but I wanted to gather moe info with my specific problem before I get a call from the dealer. I hope it's covered, I know the warranty wont cover struts/sprins, I hope it's not that

It could be a number of things. Ive had this happen to me a few times. 2 times it was the O rings near the accumulator and sensor. This last time the pump was leaking around where the belt goes in the front. Luckily the ABC pump is a tandum pump and listed as the Power Steering Pump so my warranty covered it. Im not sure the specifics on the V8. I know the pump is not the same as on the V12 but should be a tandum pump as well. Even though the extended warranty companies go by part numbers, tell them you heard the steering wind and it was hard to turn the wheel so that they understand its a steering issue <wink wink>

Extended warranty covered it, I'm so releived, it was the pump. Should be back on the road tomorrow.The estimate was $3200 :o

I gotta look at the paperwork, the dealer sells it too but you can find them online. It the Premium Coverage Plan 5y/75k miles no deductable, it is a great coverage for the price, I think just under $4000 but in the last 3 months I had the valve covers replaced, a squicky ball joint and now the pump, total of almost $5k in warranty work.
A warranty is a must for these cars.
