Possible causes include a faulty flasher relay, bad bulbs, or corroded connections. The suggested solution is to check the flasher relay and consider professional inspection, as similar issues have been resolved by addressing corroded connections.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did check the bulbs; they seem fine. I haven't checked the flasher relay yet, I'm not even sure where to find it. And no, the error just popped up randomly. Where is the flasher relay located?

Okay, if the bulbs are good, it does sound like the relay or a wiring issue. Honestly, tracking down electrical gremlins can be a real pain. I ended up just taking mine to a workshop when my blinker went haywire. Turned out to be a corroded connection. Cost around 95€ to fix, if that helps.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight. I'll take it to a workshop and mention the corroded connection possibility. I'd rather not spend days chasing wires. Hope they will find it and fix it without costing me a fortune!

I had something similar on my RX, though I didn't get a speedometer error. First, have you checked the flasher relay and all the indicator light bulbs? Sometimes a bad bulb can cause weird electrical issues. Also, did the error appear after any specific event, like a car wash or heavy rain?
