Sometimes I get the trifecta lights randomly, even when at a stop.

Scanned for codes and got the following:-

First thing to check is the connector on the left rear wheel speed sensor. It's in a small plastic box in the wheel arch... Have a look at this article to get an idea of what you're looking for...

Thanks for the response.

What is the activation map cooling error?

Map error is probably a problem with the electric activation of the thermostat.

You should unplug and re plug the sensor.

Did you drive through any big puddles recently?

No i didn't. Where is the sensor you speak of for this?

I don't have any cooling issues. Dashboard temp gauge stays just below half way, and IBUS app on my Eonon head unit shows coolant temp around 105c.

The abs sensor left rear wheel. It’s pretty obvious only one electrical connection to the wheel. There should be a black box with a blue or white connector

I know where you mean for ABS sensor, I was referring to the map cooling sensor location. Thanks.

I didn’t refer to such a thing. The map cooling refers to the heater inside the thermostat. I don’t think it comes out but you can maybe test it with ohmmeter. You would have to search how.

The dial on the dash is not a gauge it for practical purposes, a three position idiot light. You have a way to measure the actual temp though so moot point.

The temp idiot dial should point directly up. You said it was slightly bellow half I’m not aware of any conditions that will cause that since the design is that it “snaps to noon” over about 30C range.
