RESOLVED! Coding brake light check (LEDs)
Howdy!
Hoping someone can help I've installed LEDs in my brake lights. I've also coded off cold & warm checking (set to nicht_aktiv) and set BL is LED (both left & right) to aktiv. They're still blinking for the error checking the car does. I am guessing I've missed a setting. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. FYI - I've coded off error checking for all turn signal LEDs & the reverse lights, and no flashing. Just letting you know so you understand I know how to code. (Or so I tell myself.) I went back into E-Sys & even verified these settings were all changed. Settings I've coded: xxx_x_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv xxx_x_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv xxx_x_x_IS_LED set to aktiv For both: REM/3061/BL_L REM/3061/BL_R Jim

I haven't had luck with LEDs in my 2016... I'm starting to wonder if there are software differences from the older ones. I tried 4 different sets for the turn signals and they all fail or cause "Lighting System Malfunction". So I'm throwing in the towel and going for chrome turn signals instead. Oh, and I did the coding for the Warm/Cold checks and LED setting as well.

See post #1574 in this thread. Looks like you didn't code everything.

Have you tried deAutoLED? I had them in my m235i but not the same year as yours.
I did not get around to trying the LEDs in my m240 yet I know they are on the more expensive side but I had no errors with them, they blinked on startup but it seems to be normal cold diagnostics. http://www.deautokey.com/product/bmw...e-turn-signals Last edited by T4455; 02-14-2017 at 08:25 AM.. |

I don't get any errors with the Weisslicht LEDs (bulb warnings, etc...) just the flashing.

There are many settings related to the brake lights where the cold/warm checks need to be set to "nicht-aktiv" and "...is LED" needs to be set to "aktiv". Go into E-Sys & begin your coding steps. These settings are all in the REM module. I searched on the term "KALTUEBERWACHUNG" so E-Sys would show all of the items with the cold/warm checks. Then I just walked through the list. I checked every one - some are irrelevant for the brakes & even our car (and were already set to "nicht_aktiv", or I could just tell by the word they were unrelated to the brake lights). On another forum, I saw a reference to also look for BL_M or BL_Mi. This stands for "brake light middle" & we have "BL_M". F22 brake lights are composed of 3 bulbs: an inside, outside & "middle" bulb. BL_M may have been "nicht_aktiv" by default, but not sure. I looked at & changed many of these settings (should have been writing down exactly what I changed!) If you're replacing all of your bulbs with LEDs, just check them all. I can say for sure my initial coding, I only recall changing anything that had "BL" in the settings so that means I missed a bunch of others which is why I was still getting the bulb check flickering. Once I changed each of these settings to "nicht_aktiv", all of the flickering is gone. No error codes, either. I am using the Weisslicht Spektrum LEDS. These are VERY well made & the quality is readily apparent when you pick em up. I've not used/looked at any other bulb so can't compare them to alternatives. I've heard folks have been happy with other brands, but I know for sure Weisslicht claims no error codes & that is true - but you definitely have to code off the bulb checks to prevent flickering (or use a resistor). There is a left/right setting for each one of these. You need to change both. SL BL BL_M BFD (brake force distribution setting) According to another post I found, "...SL is supposed to be Schlusslicht (rear light, the 2 for the "inner part" normally)." You need to change all of these entries/settings for each bulb: xxx_x_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv xxx_x_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv xxx_x_x_IS_LED set to aktiv Thanks Nito!
