Dashboard error light with no reason

[jaedencook]

Having a slight problem... There is an error on my dash which is a light bulb with ! In it... I've consulted my manual which suggestions there is a light out or voltage problem but if I scan the system for errors with VCDS nothing is returned..

All I've changed is allowing the horn toot with door locks and turned off fog light turn assist... If I reverse my changes the light is still there..

Just thought I'd post here incase anyone has seen it.. The light started coming on halfway through making those changes.

Actually can this be deleted? I can't see a button to do so and I'll just post it in the VCDS section

have you checked your lights?

Sorry forgot to include that yes all lights have been checked including interior and brake and all work

You have replaced the lights with aftermarket ones though, yes? If you have, make sure they were from a reputable place because with the CANBUS system in the on board computers, if the voltage levels returning to the computers are even just slightly off, it will bring up the bulb error light. The resistance is key when using aftermarket replacement globes so the computer sees the same amount of current returning back to the ECU that would be seen with the original, OE light globes. My solution would be systematically check all the aftermarket globes you have got in the car.

I have the same issue, the warning light sometimes come on when I turn my lights on. Haven't changed any of the burbs, all original burbs in the car, and all are working. Got the lights checked when I last got it serviced, and no problems where found. It still happens every now and then.

I could be wrong but I have a small suspicion the warning light you are seeing is the actual tyre pressure (TPMS). It looks like a light bulb with a flat bottom and has the exclamation mark inside it and is situated on the right side of the speedometer.

Like this but more narrow (_!_)

I'll be ripping out my aftermarket globes tonight to see if that makes it go away.. i hadn't considered them the problem since they've been fine for around 3 months now..
Also, Its not the tyre pressure light, I'm very familiar with this light after a drive around an industrial park when I first got my car.. aparently people in those areas like to just 'throw' away nails lol
