Driving trucks can be a fun experience, right until you see the “Check lights” warning sign flashing on your dashboard. Whether it’s because of a failed bulb or a malfunctioning LED module, the warning error can appear for a number of reasons.

 In this blog, we’ll help you take the next best step on what you need to do when the “Check Lights” warning comes on, starting with an introduction to the mechanism of these reliable trucks. 

An Introduction To Iveco Trucks

Manufactured under the Italian brand Iveco: a legendary name in heavy-duty trucking. It has produced multiple renowned models, like the Stralis, Trakker, and Eurocargo– all of which combine award-winning design with unmatched versatility to conquer the toughest of terrains out on the road. 

Available in different bodies, IVECO trucks offer unique characteristics but share lighting components, often featuring traditional halogen bulbs with replaceable headlight units, including xenon headlights. Newer versions incorporate modern tech, like LED Daytime running lights (DRLs) integrated into the headlight compartment. While many drivers took advantage of these innovations, they also experienced a common issue: Warning Errors that say “Check Lights.” 

What Does “Lights Check” Warning Message Mean?

The warning error, “Lights Check,” indicates that a lighting component has failed on either side of the truck and needs a closer look. It can also point to a deeper problem, like a failed dipped beam or a malfunctioning DRL control module. 

Reasons For Failure for “Lights Check” Warning Message

When you see the “Check Lights” warning message on your dashboard, it’s generally recommended to visually inspect the headlight compartment for a burnt-out filament or any signs of physical damage. If nothing appears to be out of the ordinary, the culprit behind the warning message is a faulty LED DRL control module. 

Common Symptoms You May Experience 

When the LED DRL control module fails, there are common signs that you need to watch out for:

  • Warning Message “Lights Check” will appear 
  • Depending on the faulty side, DRL will not work. 
  • Interconnected components may stop working as well 

How To Fix “Lights Check” Warning Message

To remove the warning error from your dashboard, the first step is to determine which side is faulty. Start by visually inspecting both sides of the DRL headlight module and swap components to check whether the warning error continues to appear. This can help identify the affected component to ensure which side needs adjustment.

After identification, you can purchase the 5801527189 130732938700 LED Module, which is a headlight control ballast for IVECO trucks and lorries. Before purchase, make sure the faulty component aligns with the new component’s part number. This will help aid in a direct replacement and will ensure you can perform the job yourself, without any professional help.
