T6.1 Bulb failure disable VCDS help

[GazzaC]

Good Evening.

I recently purchased a 2024 Transporter. I have changed the dipped and DRL bulbs for LED bulbs. I now have bulb failure up.

As it is a newer van, when you go to 09 CENTRAL ELECS you cannot do any coding to remove bulb failure. I spoke with Ross Tech and they say there is a chance to do it through adaptions. I have looked and it is all German. I have searched everything under LIGHTS or Lichter, and it offer a hugh amount of varients. I can see some have DTC next to them and I would assume I set them them to 00. My question is, does anyone know exactly which ones are for DRL and Dipped beams?

Many thanks
Gary

How about "Leuchte"?

The parameters of each functionality are identified by a group label?
E.g. dipped beam left = Abblendlichtlinks ==> group 6ABL LB44

Using a different approach - by tweaking load type to match actual "bulbs" - was done in the thread below - though for tail lights.

Just backing up aswell like you said.

Excellent. Thanks for the fault codes - a kind of as expected... the van isn't happy with the LEDs.

I'm afraid we have to skip the massive 480 character string for now. It would have been easy if you would have retrofitted both front and rear LEDs - we have the data for that combinations.

Below are so called "Leuchte" sets which need to be tweaked that van "understands" the new lights correctly.

The new values are from a van with factory installed front and rear LEDs. The current values are from your van.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, sorry it was Leuchte I had entered. Problem was it had so many lights I couldnt establish which ones referred to the DRL, sides and dipped.

When you mention the groups, eg LB44, thats exactly what I am seeing, but deciphering them is the issue I
Am having. I think changing them to led load value is probably the solution.
