Orange light on F4
I recently had my F4 1000R MY2010 in for service (oil, filters, plugs, fluid, coolant) and new tyres, no issues other than corroded adjusters on the cables for the exhaust valve. As I could not get parts immediately they removed the cables and gave the bike back. I tested the bike and it ran well without the cables but rpm was too high while stationary and bike ran very hot. While testing this orange light was flickering on and off and this is something new. The assumption was that the servo for the exhaust valve was causing this as it only comes on at lower rpm. Had new cables and adjusters installed but still have the light as before so this goes against the cause coming from the servo, unless there is now a fault with it. The workshop hooked up the dyno and previously found some errors on coils 1 and 2 but these were just connection errors and they say these are now resolved. The only other new issue I have is an intermittent thunk during deceleration and wonder if there might be an issue with the clutch but it was not touched during the service.
I have looked through the manuals, performed a word search on all the pdf documents I have on the User Key (memory stick) but there is nothing referring to this specific light. If others have found reference to it on other manuals please can you share.
If the light provides a warning from the ECU then how is it checked and is there any way of clearing it once fixed if similar to controlled pressing of the function buttons on the dash after a service?
I have spoken with other Ducati owners and they think it will be the servo motor for the exhaust valve and it is either not correctly synchronized or it has fault. I also found the following gadget on the internet that helps explain a bit and also a fix.

Without going into detail, there are NO official MV workshops in Singapore at this time, so technical knowledge with MVs is limited.
