Got this light come on after i went on a rough road. The glow plug light also comes on. It says on the screen something about stability and the start stop system . If i turn the car off then on again it sometimes comes back on. But I've just driven 320 miles and it hasn't come on. I got home, then nipped out to the shop and it came on again.When it comes on it goes into limp mode.
Any ideas what it could be.

Thanks, I've got a Hex-Can Cable from Genden, but i don't have a windows laptop, i use a mac..
I can borrow a laptop anyway. Is it best to scan it when the errors come on or will it still detect the errors when the car seems to be running normally
 
Errors are logged so you can scan at any time. You will find out what it is and what time/date it happened. Just don't clear the error code as the garage will need to see it when fixing.
