LED Bulbs & CANbus Error Codes

Hey there car owners, are you tired of paying high fuel costs? LED bulbs may be the solution you're looking for!

One of the core selling points of LED bulbs is their low power consumption, which can lead to fuel savings.

However, installing aftermarket LED bulbs can sometimes cause decoding problems in your car.

Have you ever heard of CANbus?

It's a communication system used in modern vehicles to notify the driver of any problems in the vehicle. When installing LED bulbs, the CANbus system can sometimes detect an issue and trigger an error code on the dashboard.

Wondering what kind of decoding problems LED bulbs can cause?

Flickering lights, error messages, and even complete failure of the lighting system are all possible when installing LED bulbs in your car.

Luckily, AUXITO has a range of products and accessories to help solve these decoding problems.

One solution is to use AUXITO's CANbus-compatible LED bulbs, which come with additional resistors built into them to adjust their characteristics and bring them closer to the parameters that the CANbus system is looking for.

If you're also experiencing fast blinking turn signals, check out AUXITO's article on how to fix this issue. For a specific solution to decoding problems with turn signal bulbs, AUXITO's 4KP8 series LED turn signal bulbs are a great option. Learn more on solving decoding problems.

 

In some cases, even AUXITO's CANbus-compatible LED bulbs may not work.

That's where AUXITO's decoder or resistor kit comes in handy!

  • AUXITO's decoder can be installed between the LED headlight and the vehicle's wiring system to ensure that the LED headlight operates correctly without triggering any error messages.

Conclusion

AUXITO LED bulbs offer solutions to decoding problems when installing LED bulbs in your vehicle. By using CANbus-compatible LED bulbs or decoder/resistor kits from AUXITO, car owners can overcome these issues and enjoy the benefits of LED lighting without any complications.

Remember to purchase products from reputable manufacturers like AUXITO to ensure quality and safety.

FAQ

How can I tell if my vehicle has a CANbus system?
You can usually tell if your vehicle has a CANbus system by checking the owner's manual or consulting with a mechanic. Most modern vehicles have a CANbus system.

What are CANbus-compatible LED bulbs and how do they work?
CANbus-compatible LED bulbs are LED bulbs that have additional resistors built into them to adjust their characteristics and bring them closer to the parameters that the CANbus system is looking for.

Can resistors be used instead of a decoder to solve decoding problems with LED bulbs?
Yes, resistors can be used instead of a decoder to solve decoding problems with LED bulbs. The resistor kit can be installed in parallel with the bulb holder wires to adjust the resistance to the required levels.

Are there any downsides to using resistors instead of a decoder?
The downside to using resistors instead of a decoder is that it may not be as effective in solving decoding problems. Resistors can also generate heat, which can be a safety concern if they are not installed properly.

Bought two low beam LED headlight bulbs from Auxito for my 2022 Colorado…The bulbs do not flicker and I have no fault code in my display however I seen some sort of interference in my backup camera display when it is energized…I have isolated the issue to the headlight bulbs themselves as it goes away when I reinstall the original halogen bulbs…any ideas?

Everything should be highly aware of the importance of choosing a high-quality LED Replacement.
Well written, Easy to get through, and people should know the drill to kill the hyper-flash after they read this article.
Keep kicking ass, AUXITO
