"1 Malfunction"
Hey all,
after washing and detailin' the car today, as I was moving it back into the garage, it displayed "1 Malfunction" as I stepped on the brakes and it showed "Tail Lamp, Rear L" or something like that.
I rigged something to step on the brake for me while I went around back to take a look...all three brake lights were fine? So after I finished parking, I shut off the car, took the key out, waited a min for the MFD to shut off then I turned the key into position 2 and it displayed nothing when I stepped on the brakes
I'm assuming it was just a computer glitch (hopefully)?

yeah...I was driving it around and everything worked fine. Never showed up again.
Hopefully it's a glitch. How much would it be to replace a tail light anyhow? I've never opened up the part where the bulbs sit...but since they are LED's, i'm guessing it's expensive?
it's still under warranty, so if it's gonna go out, let it go out within the next year
