    You need CANBUS friendly LEDs.

    Wrong type of LED lamps fitted. They need to be suitable for use on Canbus systems. Cheap, eBay and Amazon types are not suitable.

    Are you aware that the use of LED lamps on vehicles not originally fitted with them is an MOT failure in the UK ?

    I don’t know where the term canbus compatible LEDs came from because there is no data communication with the bulbs. It’s mearly measuring the resistance. You could use the same LEDs with a resistor kit and it will stop the warnings. 
     

    All the cheap Chinese bulbs do that call themselves canbus compatible is stuff a resistor in to the bulb. Which then means they run hot and shorten the life of the LEDs.
