The fault disappears shortly after the cornering light turns off. Entries are logged in J519 (09 ? central electrics unit control unit). Only vehicles with full LED headlights (PR No 8EX or 8EY) are affected. Both headlights remain fully functional during this complaint and still comply with all applicable FMVSS standards. Software within the LED control module incorrectly calculates the current intensity of the headlight LEDs, leading to the DTC.
A001240 2031473-2017-11-08. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS. Bristles from car wash are discovered between headlight and front fender. The vehicle design in the area around the headlights has a gap that, when the vehicle is washed in car washes having a particular bristle angle and type, can trap these bristles in this area, tear away from the mechanism and lodge in the gap between the headlight and fender.
A941292 2012749-2017-11-08. Service bulletin. EXTERIOR LIGHTING. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 94 number 11-52 dated October 11, 2011. Condensation is visible on the inside of the headlight, taillight, fog light, side marker light, front turn signal, daytime running lights, or third brake light lens. Damp air settles on the inside of a cold lens, which creates condensation. The headlight circulation system allows air from the outside to flow through the headlights. This open waterprotected ventilation system (needed for pressure compensation) creates different climate zones in the headlight: very warm areas, where the lens is warmed up by the light, and relatively cool areas, where the lens is cooled own by the air flow. Considerable differences in humidity and temperature between the inside and the outside of the headlights, even while driving, can lead to condensation. This is especially true in cold and wet weather, but it can also happen after a car wash, after steam cleaning the engine or the front end, with overnight temperature changes, etc. This phenomenon is more visible on lenses made of clear glass than on lenses with patterns. The moisture does not affect the headlight function (light performance) and does not lead to corrosion or other damage to headlight parts.

Only vehicles with full LED headlights (PR No 8EX or 8EY) are affected. Both headlights remain fully functional and still comply with all applicable FMVSS standards.
