I would start by looking under the car to see is the suspension sensor linkage is still hooked up and or the sensor is not unplugged.

This happened on my 09 - First the passenger side, then about a year later the driver side. Luckily, my CPO warranty covered the replacements. I was told the part costs $1700 for the entire strut. It's an annoying warning check that you cant seem to get rid of. Unless you off set the error by placing the vehicle in Sport Mode at start up. Basically, the strut causing the warning senses the difference between the two sides and throws an error warning. Hope this helps!

What's a 'multitester' and how does it read power in plugs? You have schematics? www.newtis.info

Sorry bout that usually see these messages on the go.. a multi-tester or multimeter is an device use to dc.. ac amps and resistor readings so for example if there is a short in the wire the readings will show it.. or when a fuse is burnt out.. same as doing an alternator test with the multimeter or u can just start the car and take the negative terminal and if the car shut off then u have an alternator problem

Just that the term 'read' connotes 'data'. A multimeter MEASURES values, doesnt 'read'. the terminology threw me. But check out the schematics I linked, you can figure out if power is there.
