Default Active cornering enhancement (ACE) light came on today...

Like the title says, the "Active cornering enhancement (ACE)" light came on as I was driving around getting ready for a road trip today. It hasn't caused any problems and still drives the same. I'm leaving for a road trip in about two hours and wanted to know if this is a "safety of flight issue" or just another annoying issue to run down.

Also, the only other light that's on is the "Offroad Suspension Mode" light, because the rear has been converted to coil springs, but not switched in the BCU.

Did it clear after a key cycle? It could be low fluid, or one of the 2 sensors having an issue. When the ACE system faults it locks down the system. Safe to drive unless you're pumping fluid all over the place.

I had mine pop the ACE Light after I installed some rocker guards. Found out I simply didn't have the connector all the way seated. Pushed it together did a key cycle and boom no more ACE Light.

That's good to hear. It's probably low fluid, since nothing else changed. I was on the road when it happened, so I doubt it's anything else. Turning it off an on didn't change anything.

basically you are fine unless the light turns red and blinks/dings. Thats when the system detects a leak and critical loss of pressure

Info from OM for FYI.

If illumination occurs while driving, a fault
with the system is indicated, as follows:
• If the light shows RED (a flashing red light
which changes to constant illumination after
two minutes, and is accompanied by a
warning chime): This indicates a system
fault that may result in serious damage to
vehicle components and reduced ACE
performance. Stop the vehicle as soon as
safety permits and switch off the engine. DO
NOT CONTINUE DRIVING! Seek qualified
assistance immediately.
• If the light shows AMBER (constant
illumination): This indicates a system fault
that will result in reduced ACE performance
but will not leave the vehicle in a dangerous
condition. You may continue driving, but
reduce speed, take additional care, and
consult a Land Rover retailer at the earliest
opportunity.
