Led side marker - How can I remove the start-up flashing/strobing?

RMH · 07-11-2011, 11:27 AM

I have just installed some led side markers on my E93, but they flashes a few times after I start the car. Does anybody know if it's possible to remove this flashing by coding?
I have looked through the NFRM, but I can't find any bulb check setting for the side markers, only front and rear turn signals.

Solved:
I solved this by disabling the cold check for the rear turn signals.

I'm getting the same thing, did you disable it by coding?

Turn off the cold check for the parking lights (POL) and check again.

Is this something we can do without a specialized tool? If not, how much would a shop charge for this? I've just put the new side markers on, the flashing doesn't bother me YET, but maybe one of these days I'll need to find somebody to do it for me

No you will need a coding cable and supporting software/knowledge.
Shop should charge you their minimum rate.
