Default Rear wing initialization

I recently installed a RR racing carbon wing on my RC F. It worked perfectly right after installing. Unfortunately for me my battery died the day after however and now the rear wing seems to operate with a mind of its own. Sometimes it pops up well below 50mph and promptly goes back down again. I noticed on the instrument cluster that the rear wing appears black before it does this and once its raised the wing appears green. Does anyone know if this is an initialization issue? If so how can I re-initialize the system?

Thanks I'm going to take it in tomorrow. Not sure what it would have to do with a new wing as the only difference is the weight. I suppose it could have been a coincidence. Here are some pics though.

there is a TSB for faulty rear wing motors. Should be free under warranty. not sure if parts will be in stock tho!

Curious if they will honor the manufacture warranty with the swapped out wing. Let us know how it goes!!

My wing did the same thing after I put on Varis carbon fiber wing. It took like a year before going screwy though. Lexus finally said I had to put the original metal on before they would address it. I got used to the Varis in the up position and said screw it.

Update... just picked up the car from the dealer. Apparently they found a fault code and cleared it. The wing worked normally for a few up and down cycles but went back to its weird behavior. It goes up at 50mph and once you slow below 25mph it goes down. The next time you speed up the wing goes up at 25mph instead of 50mph. Not sure what its going to take to fix this thing now...
