LED Welcome headlights problem
Been noticing this weird quirk over the past couple weeks. My car usually has "welcome" lights when you press the unlock button on the fob, and its been working flawlessly until the past couple weeks. Now it seems to go for days without having the LED halos turn on until the car is turned on, and then go back to normal and turning on with the unlock button. I've checked the settings to confirm I have "welcome" lights feature turned on.
Possibly related, I've noticed the comfort access on the door handles acting funny as well over the same period of time. It sometimes does not recognize my hand to unlock the doors, and when that happens, I go to turn on the car, and get a "high battery discharge" warning on the dash. I've read that this could be a problem with one of the sensors on the door handle, leading to increased battery drainage overnight. Not sure if the two are related, but just strange that they've both been occurring over the past couple weeks. Get out of my car you gremlins!! |

I had exactly same symptoms, first was welcome light (halos) then comfort access didn't work then had "Battery drain" message soon after, it's battery, you probably need a new battery or try to charge it.
Car is turning off those functions as battery level goes down, I've heard in order to work all those functions - welcome lights/ CA mode, battery has to be at 80% or above, if it's under 80% - car starts to turn off those mode to conserve as much as possible. After I got new battery, everything is working fine as should be. |

Sorry, I should have broken this up to avoid confusion.
