Cornering Light Malfunction

merlinbk · 03-19-2013, 07:43 AM

When I turn on the car I'm getting a cornering light malfunction. I've checked the H3 bulbs and they looked OK. Any ideas on what is causing the problem? And how to fix it?

I'm trying to avoid taking it to the dealer.

Thank you in advance.

Do you have Angel eyes LEDs installed if yes replace them with H8 bulbs and test...

No its stock. I'll take a look at those bulbs nevertheless maybe something is loose? One can only hope that's the problem.

I saw the same message once, but it has not shown up again.

While the car was in warranty I saw the message a handful of times... but it would turn on and then turn off. But now, out of warranty, the thing won't shut off. Ugh.

Is the light still goes on if you are driving not on AUTO mode but simple second position?

If I take it off of Auto in to lets say the off position. Basically as soon as I turn the car on. The warning light dings and tells me cornering light malfunction.

Last thing before dealer you can find somebody with D-can Inpa cable and check error codes/delete them. It will help diagnose problem which can be foot module or headlights.
