Why is mo.unit turn signal frequency is too high or randomly changing?

The minimum measurable current flow per circuit is 100 mA. If your turn signals are close to this limit, calibration may work because it is done with the engine off.
When the engine is running, the battery is charged and the voltage rises a bit, usually from 12V to 14.4V. This voltage rise causes a small drop in the current flow, which can lead to the current falling below the measurement threshold. In this case, a lamp defect is triggered. According to legal regulations, the blinking frequency of a defective blinker must double. This creates a loop that causes the flashing frequency to change depending on the on-board voltage.

Sequential indicators that permanently change the current flow during operation are not compatible. These must be separated from the mo.unit before each calibration (i.e. before ending the setup).

If you have LED turn signals with a power consumption of almost 100 mA or less, you can choose one of the following solutions:

  1. Use of an additional resistor on each side of the indicator (120 Ohm / 2 W) to the vehicle mass and recalibration of the mo.unit.
  2. Deactivation of the toggle switch "Vehicle messages" in the settings of the main menu. This stops all error messages and the detection of the blinker malfunction (mo.unit firmware higher than 1138 required).
  3. Use of the motogadget turn signals.
