Sounds like the same fault I have, all is fine until I steer on full lock or hit a speed bump then the light comes on :(

I've found one of the sensors has a dodgy cable, I checked the resistance out with a meter and found the resistance changes considerably on the nearside front when cable is flexed.

New sensor on the shopping list.

They're expensive new from the dealer, about £90 each.

I posted a wanted ad on here and have a replacement coming from Spadge.
