Default Forscan program error

I was enabling my new keypad and made an error. I was in the BdyCM module instead of the APIM module.

I typed this x1xx xxxx xxxx in line 726-37-01 and hit write but it gave me an error saying "wrong checksum" and I realized I was in the wrong area so I stopped it and closed it out. I don't think anything wrong was written.

I opened up forscan again and I see this and am now wondering if it's related:




I don't *THINK* that is related but wanted to make sure. I googled that and someone else said it could be related to daytime running lights, which would make sense because I did turn on "Bambi" mode a long time ago. Perhaps that's what it is? I didn't check this log before hand so I don't recall if these were listed before today. And I did change the bulbs as well if that matters. I do recall something about putting in bulbs and getting that fast flashing effect because they can't detect something or another but that it could be disabled. Again, this was probably 2 years ago so I don't recall the specifics. I just want to make sure I didn't accidentally program out my brakes or power steering or something XD

Thanks

The B codes are all involving the front turn signal feeds as open or short to power both sides.
LF Low Beam and RF Hi Beam as the same issue
The U codes are saying invalid and lost data from the ABS Module.
Ya muxed them up.
Good luck.

I didn't go into the PSCM module ever so I don't see how that's possible, only the bdy (by accident) and then the apim.

I did recall something though. The LEDs I put in a couple years ago do detect as short and hyperflash and I think that was a setting I disabled a couple years ago iirc? Perhaps one error code is the "shorted out" turns and the other is for the other LEDs? I put them in the headlights, cargo bed and tail lights, front turns, etc. Maybe in the cabin too? Idr.

Also I checked that original Bdy part and the number was back to the original setting so again I don't think it wrote anything. Also I drove around, everythingn seemed fine so, I guess I'm just wondering if we can confirm those codes.

Edit: I googled the codes and it said possibly electrical and I did have a low battery indicator on at the time. I'm gonna go try to reboot it and see if it's still there.
