alarm led

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

I think they came with the introduction of CEM III.

Hi Pelle!

Yes, think that is the best assumption to make. Technology for a flashing LED won't be present in the earlier CEM's.

This is semi confirmed in VADIS as it says (in the CEMIII section) that the alarm led mimicks the LED in the self diagnosos unit, so you can watch the alarm led for fault codes for those tests that need the ignition turning to kick them off (such as the cyclical tests)
