While I was driving, it turned on electric motor unit warning light, RBS light and Turtle mode light. I returned home, found on this forum that the issue is wrong Parking position. I lubricated gear selection wire with WD40 next to rear axle and tightened the wire. Now gear all the time goes back to Parking position but I lost gear B.
It took several more trips and adjustments till RBS light and Turtle mode light finally disappeared. Now I drive as normally but still without gear B. The only problem left constantly glowing electric motor unit warning light. I drove more than hundred kilometers with it. And it still on. Sometimes it disappears for short period and turns on.
As there are no problems, and everything works, including regenerative braking, I would not pay attention. But this year car will have to pass government inspection and with this light on, I will not be able to pass it.
Any suggestions what I could do?
Would buying new gear shifter wire (not sure if it is possible to get it) solve the problem?

Car is MY2012.
 
You will need to use an OBDII scan tool or OBD dongle with a phone app to read out the diagnostic troubleshooting codes, DTC, to find out why the warning lamp is lit up. Once the issue is resolved the lamp will turn off.
