No DTCs are stored. In certain driving conditions, a reverse current may be sent from the halogen trunk light if it is missing its protective diode. Because the trunk light and the trunk lock switch are on the same circuit, the reverse current falsely triggers the trunk open warning. Unlike halogen trunk lights, LED trunk lights are not produced with protective diodes.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10120036-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10120036-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10120036","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"latches-locks","name":"Latches and locks","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3 CABRIOLET","year_from":2015,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
