Suspension malfunction warning light has appeared on my F355

[DANGEROO]

Can anyone help? Thought I would uncover my F355 at the weekend and give it a run, but discovered that after the engine had been running a minute or so the amber suspension malfunction light appeared. Does this mean one of the actuators is not working? Or is there a more serious problem? And can I continue to drive the car without doing anymore damage?
Any help?

If you can, its worth buying some stabillant 22 electrical contact cleaner and coating all the electrical conections you can find with it, including the suspension actuators, the Amber lights are sometimes caused by a momentary loss of signal from an actuator or just a degraded signal normaly caused by corrosion / dirty connections (not forgeting to isolate the battery first)

try turning of the battery switch over night and turn it back on the next day and let the engine run with out touching the loud pedel so that the ECUs can reset them selfs.
Dont go taking of the actuators from the top of the shockers though or this could tell the ECU that there is a problem and the light will come back on again. And this will have to be pluged into a machine to reset the troubled ECUs.
If the problem continues then the Actuators will have to be checked to see if they are moving, but dont do this untill all the above has been done first.

good bit of advice from FerrariSpider. Mine recently came on after the car had been flat bedded back to home. Isolating the battery for 1 minute did not help, however turning it off overnight did the trick.

I also had it where the error needed to be cleared via SD2. Damn thing, nothing was wrong with it, just kept showing the light.
