Default 2009 lr3 Suspension issues at speed

Hi. This is my second lr3. 2009 Hse. 4.4. Love it. But getting to the expensive point in its life. 160km or 100k miles.
this week has been extremely cold. I had to drive it yesterday in -27 celsius (-17 Fahrenheit).
Twice, when i got over 100km/hr, the stability/tip over warning light came on (along with 2 other warning lights) and the vehicle seemed to lower to its lowest height setting.
Once turned off and restarted, all seemed fine. But when parked for the day, it was saying "suspension fault" on the dash.

It is also showing a "bonnet open" error on the dash but has been there for a couple weeks with no repercussions and the hood is closed as firmly as is possible.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Cold can make it do whacky things. You gotta read the codes to see what's going on.

Bonnet sensor, common issue. If you remote lock the alarm will go off. I jumper wired mine then eventually replaced the sensor with a cheap one which failed in a week so I am back to jumping the connector again.

Indeed, need codes really. There are any number of reasons. It could even be that the dryer desiccant is saturated and freezing up causing a blockage issue. That would make the compressor appear to under-perform and throw a code. Usually a code that like would not cause it to drop to the stops though, dropping to the stops is typically for a more severe issue.
