I have the same error It occurred when I disconnected my stock angel eyes to install my umnitza V2. I am not too worried about it at the moment.

Try:

1) view check control
2) press the button in on turn signal stock and hold 4 seconds. A code will appear. Post it.

send me your cc - error code. just checked mine again and they are:

cc-130 > FRM - Parking light front left
cc-380 > FRM -turning light right failed

These could be due to my light mods, but there is nothing wrong with either light indicated in the error code
They come back each time I clear them.

BTW...if you turn signal is blinking like crazy you need to replace that light, and/or check the wiring.

What mod's did you do.
The light circuit is current and connection sensing.
If you swapped with LEDs this could happen. Not drawing enough current.

I haven't done any mods, after I made a strong stop last week it happens the first time, then I check the wiring and everything seems fine went back to normal, then happened again yesterday, I'm worried that it could course more problems

I am getting that same error code that an exterior light is malfunctioning. It started two days ago upon start up. Now I get it will driving. Stays on for a minute or so then goes away. I have looked at all of lights, and all seem to be working. I too would like to know what to do -- other than bring it back to the dealer at $120 an hour.

Thanks

Had the same last month, right rear brake light. Turns out that there are two brake light bulbs per side--so very hard to "see" that there's a problem by having someone stand on the brakes.

I ended up going to the auto parts store and buying new light bulbs (signals, reverse, brakes, parking, etc) for the entire car. Excluding headlights (which I ordered from Amazon), I think its cost me about 20 Euros.

If it's just a bulb, should be an easy job -- just follow your owners manual and be gentle with plastic bits that the bulbs go in to.
