You can get the above messages when the power is low or it's very cold - or both [as I experienced over the winter].
But sorry, cann't advise on actual suspension fault!!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

No easy answer to this. It's probably a faulty sensor or as DG said it may be a brake bulb issue in that sometimes the filaments can touch/arc and casue all sorts of `fault` problems. It may be prudent to change your brake bulbs with Original ones one cheap Halfrauds ones and see if it's worked. If not you could always do a Hard Reset by shorting out the + & - cables with the battery disconnected first!! Look at Wiki on this site for Hard Reset). If all fails, you gotta get some diagnostics to find the fault I'm afraid.
I had exactly the same on mine the other day and it turned out to be a broken wire on the rear nearside ABS wheel sensor. A £180 cost of the job and that was at an Independent in Dorking who charges £62 +vat per hour as opposed to Stealers at around £90!

My bet is low battery power.
Make a good drive and check next morning again. Probably no drama then.
After my flat battery experience, I had some clutch faults and sun roof faults. I have automatic and no sun roofs Roel

Oeps sorry missed that. I should read better next time.
Let it run for a while and then let it go to sleep before starting her again. Wait minimum 15 minutes. This might cure it.
If not you might have a real fault.Roel
