That’s the OBD that I use so that’s not the problem. That amber side marker is led and is the same for all models so I don’t think that is the issue.

Yeah that’s what I figured. I did have an issue with my mirror, and they replaced the BCM at the dealer around a month ago. Idk

Hmmm, was the BCM replacement before or after the DRL swap? They would have re-flashed it to the stock settings. I wonder if JSCAN is not communicating with the new BCM. I had a strange issue changing the tire size after swapping the dash for a used Rubicon dash. JScan listed the tire size as 31.25(?) but the speedo was dead on for 33’s.

So I put the drls in, brought it to the dealer for some warranty work and Asked them to flash it. They said the bcm needed replaced. Then the writer said the tech was able to fix the drls, and when I hooked up jscan initially everything was already programmed for led.

Replyed to your pm. The LED turn signals don’t draw enough current so the BCM thinks they are out. Change the settings for LED turn signals here and that should fix it.

Hi Greg, read that you're a solid resource with lighting issues. I upgraded my halogens to the mopar led lights (headlights, fenders) and am getting the error message that my turn signals are not working. The service department said that getting a load equalizer would fix the issue but I have seen posts about only a tazer or jscan being the fix. I just want the error message to go off and the hyper flash on the dash (the lights work perfectly fine) to go away and didn't want to shell out over $300 for a tazer that I would only use once. Any suggestions to fix?

If all you want to do is fix the lights JScan is the way to go. The Dealer will not be able to fix it.
