mossline 15 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Will switching off cold check stop the subtle flickering of my replacement LEDS on my number plate light and reverse lights? Is there anyone in Wellington with the computer software that can access the cold check option? Might you be able to help me out in return for a drink of your choice? Love the look of the replacement bulbs but not keen on the, ever so slight, flickering occurring.... Cheers all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Switching off cold check wont turn off the LED flickering problem. When you switch off cold monitoring your telling the LCM not to trigger the fault however the check on the lighting circuit is still performed. Unfortunately its a side effect off going to CCFL or LED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately its a side effect off going to CCFL or LED Not so true Hybrid It all depends on the LCM and the Coding Index Some LCMs allow you to turn off the Warm Check, the Cold Check, and the Warning Messages, all individually. Some don't But VERY CodingIndex dependent So if the original poster can tell us what car and what production date, and if possible what coding index of the LCM, I can advise as to what is possible.

Example: E46: the reverse lamps are not monitored at all, so there is no warm or cold monitoring, and there are no warning messages E39: the reverse lamps are monitored. The ability to turn on/off the monitoring and the warning messages varies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
