Prolly the SSR.

On some older cars some sensors can be tricked with grounding modifications.

The 'rents had a 91 Lincoln with the air bag suspension that they replaced with a strut kit from Strutmaster(s). A warning light was on all the time telling them the air suspension was malfunctioning. A mechanic figured out how to fool the computer by grounding the sensor to the chassis. No more warning light.

Don't know if ya can do that on more modern cars.

When the air suspension worked, that Lincoln was the smoothest ride I've ever experienced.
