Hey All,
I got my 15' SE GTI about 4 months ago now and its been a blast. However, occasionally when I am driving, I get a "Check Daytime Running Light" error on my dash. I've done a lot of Googling and haven't really found anyone with this issue, or any suggested fixes. I do see that someone else on this forum posted this issue but did not get any responses (except me) so I am trying again.
When I start the car, both DRLs are typically on. I am talking about the U shaped LED lights around the main headlight. Sometimes I am able to make my full 45 minute commute to work without the right DRL light going out, however some days the light will go out within a minute or two of driving. Sometimes it will take 15-20 minutes. It really seems to happen at random. Occasionally, turning the headlight switch off and on a few times will get the DRL to turn back on (but the warning light stays on in the dash until the car turns off and back on).
The right DRL turns off, while the left DRL remains on. I can turn my headlights on and off a few times and I can usually get the DRL to turn back on for a little bit. It will also turn back on if I turn my right turn signal on and then back off (I feel like it turns on because typically the DRL "winks" when you use the turn signal, so when the signal turns off, the DRL comes back on). If the DRL comes back on, the light on my dash will remain on, and the DRL will typically go out again a few minutes later.
I have an ODBeleven and there are no mods done on the DRLs. The error code I get from the ODB reader is:
B12EDF2 - Right LED daytime running lamp and parking lamp LED module Supply, open circuit/short circuit to B+ static.
I've taken this to the VW dealer and they said the light had no issues while they had it... of course. Sometimes you can go a few days without the DRL going out. Apparently that happened while they had it. They said the headlight looked fine. The headlight was also replaced by the previous owner, as the last headlight was bumped into by another driver.
Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate some help. VW has been super unhelpful with this and I barely know anything about cars.
Thank you.
