security light turned on while driving

Hello all,

I searched for "security light" and didn't have much luck, so here goes:

This weekend I was at an autocross and had the "security" light on the dash come on while on course. It didn't appear to affect drivability at all. Any idea what could cause that to happen?

Thanks!

Found that last night, and its quite a handy feature! +1 for the pellet losing contact. Had a PassKey code stored in there. I'll clean it and take the key off of my carabiner for competition driving.

Thanks!
