'ENGINE FAILSAFE PROG'... any idea???

Hi again all...

After all that commotion with the Oil Separator... I somehow got another problem in hand.

Took the car for a long run a couple of days ago to see the 'smoke' has disappeared. It disappeared alrite then I took it for an alignment. It needed an alignment for sometimes now but I could never find a garage who could accommodate for 22" alloy until that very same day. Anyway got the alignment done and 5 minutes later after driving away from the garage, ABS light came ON, DSC light came ON, HDC light came ON and Brake light came ON along with a message "ENGINE FAILSAFE PROG". I turned the engine OFF and turn it back ON again about a minute or 2 but the problem was still there.

Cut long story short. Drove home took about half an hour or so, turn the engine OFF again. Waited about 5 minutes and restarted it again and this time, ALL the lights were gone but the message was still there. Then yesterday, took the car for another spin to see if the problem was still there. FIRST of all, NO PROBLEM LIGHTS AT ALL and SECOND, the message was not there. Drove the car and it was fine as if nothing happened. A Big Relieve...

Unfortunately, when I took the car out today, the message came back up again but NO PROBLEM LIGHTS CAME ON. The car drove fine and after several minutes the message just vanished, disappeared...

I'm sure the problem is far from over yet and its just a matter of time those lights and messages come back on again... Any idea why this is happening... How do I get rid of it? Do I need to put in the diagnostic tool?
