Default 3 Amigos induced by a bump

Check this out...I pulles into a carwash and as soon as my front left tire hit the ramp-stop the 3 Amigos showed up??? Does this tell me anything imparticular or does it not tie in at all? Thanks in advance for the thoughts.
Also, is it true that when the 3 amigos are turned on that the disco will struggle offroad?

?? No.

They have gone off since right?

It just meant you had a wheel slip.

It could indicate a loose solder joint on the board that the SVS plugs into.

With the lights on off road performance will suffer, especially without a cdl.

As long as they stay off, you are OK. If they go over when wheeling, yes you will loose the ETC, ABS and Hill Decent.

Thanks for the replies. The lights went off after I recycled power. It has been an intermittent problem, I am in the middle east and cannot find anyone who has the abs scanner. I do not want to tear into it without some decent direction. I also do not want the amigos to show up when I am 20 miles deep into the dunes! Unless losing those features is not that big of a deal in the sand...if that is the case, the amigos can hang out with me whenever they want...lol

Update...
I continued to have 3 amigos come and go until last week after a dune trip. I deflated, cruised for a couple hours, reinflated and have not seen them sinse. Is it possible that my tire pressure was not the same all the way around, and a sensor was getting bad info and in turn kicking out the 3 amigos?
