4ws weird intermittent

Ok I've recently had my 4ws steering fixed thanks to @confused but now it's having a tantrum....it's working most of the time but it's throwing an error code that I can't find.
The 4ws light flashes 7 times slowly which does a repeated cycle of that about 6 or 7 times then flashes I would say 12 to 15 times but crazy fast.
Also at the same time I now have error code 12 for egr again which both have come at the exact same time.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated.
If I turn car off an on again the 4ws will start working again so I'm confused.

Could it be an ignition fault? Or intermittent power to the 4WS ECU?

Temporary Codes:
70 - Ignition is turned from OFF to ON while driving.
71 - The car is driven aggressively with four people in the car, or the rear wheel is blocked by the kerb.
73 - The engine is started while quick-charging the battery
74 - Driving the car with the parking brake ON
The code is 7 though? What would 70 be? Flash wise

Code 70 = 7 long flashes.

Right ok that makes sense, so how do I fix it?

Because I don't turn my ignition off then on whilst I'm driving that would be rather dangerous

Are there any other symptoms?

When mine did this... if it resets on ignition off and then works again without doing the fuse pull for ecu reset...
then on mine it was a bad earth....
where the 4ws ecu in boot earths to body... i scrapped some paint away and fitted a nut and bolt through another hole and did up real tight.... it fixed mine....
