Adjustable suspension lights flashing...

I was on my way home from work tonight, and all of a sudden all three lights on my adjustable suspension switch started flashing, and the ride felt the same on all three settings. When I got home I turned off the car and turned it back on, and it was back to normal (lights not flashing, F felt firm, S felt soft, like its supposed to). Does Anybody know what might have caused this, and what I can do to prevent it from happening again in the future?

Gunshin94,
You are about to feel the wrath of a failing electronic suspension. The lights only flash when there is an issue with the electronic suspension, and the units are self contained in each strut tower. It usually starts with one of the strut cylinders giving in. Check the bounce of the struts by pressing down on one of the four corners of the vehicle. Get the car bounincing at each corner and then let go. The car should not bounce. It should come back up but not go down again. If any corner bounces, thats the one giving you trouble. Good luck. KYB makes a great replacement strut, but it will disengage the electonic/adjust rendering it useless, but they are a good ride.
