Side marker control circuit short to ground

[ScotM]

I installed bushwhacker fenders and led turn signals a while back. The turned signals work as I expected. I was running a diagnostic for another issue and got the following two codes -

B17C1-11 and B17BC-11. RIGHT AND LEFT sidemarker lamp control circuit short to ground.

I’m guessing that since the LEDs don’t have a side marker the Jeep is throwing this code, and it’s not actually an issue. Anyone have a similar experience when installing these types of light?

Thoughts on using JScan to deactivate side marker lights?

I have not done this yet. Anyone have thoughts on whether that would be a good plan?

Well I’m answering my own questions today. Deactivated the side markers and everything still woks as expected, those codes are now gone. Now I just have to chase down a pesky C0175-74 code on the ABS
