How do I disable the "Check Tail Light" message when using LED tail light bulbs. I have resistors on the brake/turn signal circuit already to stop hyperflashing, that also prevents the "Check Brake Light" message from appearing. Is there a wire I can cut to stop the tail light message? This is for a Gen 2, any help is appreciated.
 
You are in a unique situation. Not sure if anyone has ever changed their high- mount 3rd brake light which may be causing the message to come up.

You may want to try a test by jumping a wire from the pink/white (+) wire off the rear brake lamp to the light green(+) wire off the high-mount brake lamp before the ballast.

This may fool the brake module to think the load at the high-mount is still the same as it was.
 
I found a solution that works. I have load resistors on both rear turn/brake circuits as well as both front turn signal circuits. I also had to add one load resistor to the rear tail light circuit. Only on one side though. It's working now, no hyperflash or check bulb messages.
