Flash warning tone

Hello

I find that while driving, I will come accross a bump in the road and while going through it, there is a tone and red waring that will flash on the cluster. On closer inspection, it seems that it is triggered when the suspension load is off of the car, ie; when the rear end of the car is lifting.... Any one have this problem? Or any idea on a fix?

Do you show any malfunctions when this happens ?

If so, you need to have the codes that are being thrown to properly diagnose the issue.

If it is only a tone, my guess is pressure is getting low in the ABC system but restores itself bore a code is thrown.

Mine does this when I hit a big bump, but I am also pretty low.

I think when the car is at that high point, the low pressure within the system triggers the light. A false alarm if you will since it immediately goes away once the car comes down again.

There is a red flash on the cluster, but it is so fast that I cant read it. The car then continues normally....

If there is a red flash, a code has been stored.
