Do you have a Apexi ECU or standard. It makes a difference as both ECU\'s use this light for different things.

as philli says...if you have an Apexi, the heat light flashes as a warning for various things like knock, etc. If it comes on and stays on i reckon you\'ve just dislodged the sensor.

Most likely faulty sensor, my black FD had this on all the time, no issues just a bad connection.
