E85 voltage monitoring fix...carly

[1000rr]

I’ve replaced every bulb with either Osram or Phillips leds, inc the rear fog lights... all voltage checks coded out by Carly...

The fog light led replacement was throwing up a bulb error on the dash, even using Cree error free bulbs... no option to turn it off using Carly for the E85....

So after trial and error, using an E46 2007 selected, coding via Carly, the option of rear fog lights voltage monitoring is available. Disable this, and bingo! No bulb error in dash.

Especially useful for clear rear lights using a red led in rear fog instead of the red filament bulb which glows orange.

Job’s a good un.

That's good to know - well done

I had to use NCSExpert to disable the voltage check on my fog light due to LED bulbs, didn't even occur to me that different models offered different options!

That's a great find, especially as its also useful if you use symmetrical clear lights as two reverse lights as I do.
