If its LED lights then itll throw off an error unless you have the load resistors

Mine stayed on 24/7 because of my led taillights, I pulled the bulb from behind the dash, took 60 seconds, so much better.....

Questions:

1) Do all your lights light up in the rear?

2) Do you have cheap LED tail lamps without proper resistors built in?



Answers:

1)
replace burnt out bulbs
replace damaged bulb housing and replace bulb

2)
Remove cheap LED tails and install a quality set
Figure out the resistance needed
Remove bulb in cluster and except that you really have a light on
