Accidentally mixed Dot 4 with our 24 RF GT's Dot 3 brake fluid and...

I didn't realize I'd grabbed the Dot 4 instead of the Dot 3 fluid (wasn't paying attention). Did some brake work to my wife's 24 RF w standard front/rear calipers and afterwards the iActivesense system keeps throwing up an error (Disabled, drive safe, flashy, flashy).

Since Dot 3 and 4 are supposed to be compatible, I'm a little confused. Obviously I'm going to do a full Dot 3 flush; no reason to mess around. The question is "why?"

I did wash the heck out of the engine bay (and the car) after the brake work (general maintenance type, nice weather finally showing up). Maybe I upset the iActivesystem somehow?

Thoughts?
