LED bulbs and now Suspension light on??!!!

Guys I fitted LED rear bulbs today , I was just driving and the suspension light has come on... it says all special programmes off etc... it's the dynamic response light (amber), my suspension immediately lowered and I can't change now....

Could the LED bulbs cause this error???

I am going to change the bulbs back now... Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

Ok changed bulbs back and no suspension light at all... all clear... I wonder if that was the issue or maybe something will come back?

Could just be the bulbs, but to be on the safe side remove all the Revere stuff too, and it will be fine! Thumbs Up

ajp, if your fitting Led bulbs to your rear lights then you need canbus type Led bulbs, thats why your getting a fault on your dash, the ecu's are very sensitive and it is sensing there is a problem in your case your none canbus rear bulbs. Thumbs Up Hope this helps.

Thanks Ady.

I didn't realise the bulb could cause a transmission fault and suspension issue... I also changed the number plate lights as one was broken, I used new LED ones today, I hope these will be fine ? What do you think? Bow down Embarassed

Contact Ian of (sister) site sponsor "Hids4U.co.uk" for LEDs - he runs an RRS, so should know!
See this thread for some discussion.

It's also worth knowing that a faulty brake switch, failing alternator or battery can also cause multiple warning lights/failure messages on the dash; the latter two are particularly common this time of year as the temperature drops.

With the electrics been so temperamental on modern cars i always use cambus bulbs if i replace mine with Led ones, ive changed both mine and foxy's numberplate bulbs with canbus ones and never had a problem, ive also got 2010 led rear lights with the all important resistor fitted. and ive got front led side light bulbs again canbus type with no faults Thumbs Up

Thank u..

So u think the LED's on the numberplate could be an issue... So far no warning lights on since I changed the rear brake light bulbs back... Idea

If it hasn't caused a problem already then i think they should be ok. i just put canbus type led bulbs in as a precaution. i didn't want foxy ringing me up at midnight to say she has a problem with her electrics again. Shocked
