Intermittent warning light
Discussion
I'm new to AM, in May I bought a 2015 Vantage GT (10000 miles) and I'm really loving it.
But I have noticed that at times the red exclamation mark (top center of the tach) warning will briefly come on sometimes. Like, only for a few seconds. At first it only seemed to happen when I was cornering at fairly high speed (like a highway onramp), but it doesn't always happen. And the other night I noticed that it also seems to happen sometimes when I accelerate hard. Its hard to tell sometimes because obviously when doing these things I'm paying attention to the road, not the dashboard.
Today I hooked up my bluetooth ODB adapter and checked for fault codes but it didn't find anything.
I didn't buy it from a dealer but I did have the local AM dealer do a pre-purchase inspection and it got a clean bill of health.
Does anyone know what might cause this? I'll take it to the dealer and have them look at it if i have to, but I thought I'd ask here first.

Orange warning is a "hey now" warning. Red means something serious is going on. Only time I've had a red warning was when I was VERY low on oil (like, 4L under max level on dip stick) which happened during some very unscientific testing of an engine oil to see how quickly it was consumed vs others (it was bad lol).
Unless the warning colors were changed between '07 and '15. If all warnings are red, then it could be a bunch of stuff.
