Tail light warning message - CHTOPR - 8:th-Apr-2015

Hello everybody.
I have changed the rear brake light bulbs to the LED bulbs philips and now every time i have a message that i need to check "stop" bulbs. Is it possible to turn off checking this "stop" bulbs?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English.

I take you are asking if you can turn off the bulb checking?

If so no you can't, I'm sure you would rather know if a bulb was out rather than have a car hit you from behind?

The only way around this would be for you to install a load resistor or but the standard bulbs back in.

as rusty said the rear brake lights are on the canbus no canbus LED will cancel the errors
the only way to cancel the errors is to add a load resister between the wires

Thanks for your answers, guys.
As you have said thre are two ways to solve the problem. One way is to use a load resister and the second way is to use a standard bulb between the wires.
I thought that it is possible to disable this function by OPCOM, am I right?

Not as far as I know mate, the Op-com is still limited on the J.
