    battery "seems" to be good? How did you check it? This is one of the lights you will get with a battery not up to top level shape. What battery do you have in the car and how old is it and is the car on the tender all the time?

    13.5v is good. Is the car on stock suspension? Like stock springs? If it is the connector to the shock I can tell you the plug is the same as Porsche. A shop would have to hook it up and see what the fault code says, check connections that plug into the shock and the wiring for damage ect.

    I have Novitec springs on my 2019 488GTB. Have around 6k miles on the springs but no issues at all. My car is not slammed or super low. Keep us posted with what you find is the issue…very interest and wish you the best. Luckily a new shock if it’s bad is not expensive compared to other Ferrari parts.

    Also you might pull each wheel and see if the wire that plugs into each shock/coilover is securely plugged in. Maybe the plug was knocked or worked lose.
