I have a fabia se plus 2012 and have been trying to activate the drl lights but the car seems to reject the code using Vcds .

 Any chance for some tips 

Are you sure that your car has DRL,s?

They come on together with the headlights, t10 bulbs, at least I think there drl s

DRLs go dimmer or out when. Sidelights or sidelights and headlights are on.    They can not or should not be bright.  They are daytime / daylight running lights.       ? Do you not have them coming on with the ignition and no other lights on, and is that what you are trying to code to have happen ?

DRLs come on front only when you start the engine and have no other lights on. You sure you're not looking at front sidelights (tail lights will be on with these).

To DEACTIVATE the DRLs on my Fabia Greenline I did the following:

with the engine off, and headlight switch in the "0" position, I pushed down on the turn signal stalk and pulled it back toward me (as if flashing my headlights high beams while indicating left). Hold that position while you turn the key to the on position but don't start the car.  Maintain everything in that position for about 3 seconds.

Switch off the ignition and release the indicator stalk. That process turns DRLs off.

 

To reactivate them, do the same except lift the turn signal stalk upwards as though turning right, pull back for full beam etc.

 

Let me know if that worked for you.
