We got a "System fault, visit workshop" message on the dashboard. It would go out when I put the blinker on, then come back on when the blinker turned off. Turning head lights on / high beams would do same kinda thing. Car ran fine.

Did some Google searches and found others with same symptoms had a bad front end control module. It's on the passenger side of the frunk, behind a black protective box.

Problem is you can replace it yourself, but the dealer needs to program the VIN into the part so it's synched up. This car has the HID headlights, and cars without have a different part.

Swapped it it for the replacement, the bad blinker warning came on but the system fault message was gone.

Dealer programmed it, the bad blinker light went out and everything works a.o.k.
