Spoiler Malfunction CEL

The last two times I've had my 04S out on the road, when I get up to speed, the spoiler CEL goes on and stays lit until the car is shut off. The spoiler does extend and retract when using the manual switch, so I don't think it's the motor.

Any ideas on what could be causing this fault?

Thanks in advance.

Get the codes read and report back .

JFP - Sorry it's taken so long to report back, but it's been rather hectic here.

JDRAUPP - Sorry I did not use the proper term for the "malfunction indication lamp"

I used my Durametric, but the only codes I was able to retrieve were 33, 54 & 60 which had nothing to do with the spoiler. There was nothing indicated in the instrument cluster as to anything wrong with the spoiler.

I will try to recreate the situation and if it occurs again I will use the Durametric before I shut the vehicle off.

The light stays on after start up. Then it`s out after I pull away? I thought that it should light up when it`s up ?

It will only light up and stay on if there's a malfunction.
