That’s because (similarly to what I pointed out in the first response on this thread) that function is changed via the instrument cluster and not the infotainment screen.
Yup, this worked!
This is the root of the problem… that on 2022s, something is broken somewhere that has the infotainment showing settings that it isn’t supposed to on a Telluride. That’s why you get errors when you try to modify any of the afflicted settings, because the car has no idea what to do. That also explains why you don’t get a helpful error.
I am unable to change the color of the ambient lighting. Are others able to change color? 2022 Telluride SXP NF.
I am not able to change the color of the ambient lighting. 2022 SXP NF. Is anyone with a 2022 able to change the color?
I was/hoping starting with 22 they allow it to stay bright as an option but somehow didn’t program it in correctly. I can’t imagine how that checked box was added by accident. I assumed only the 22s have that option displayed.
User Error! I misunderstood what ambient lighting is. There are two ambient lighting systems in my '22 SXP NF. The one that is adjusted in the Infotainment -> Setup/Vehicle/Lighting menu is for the LED that is on the dash and doors. The ambient lighting that lights up the floor and the cup holders is controlled by a button in the holder just in front cup holder in the console. Hope this helps someone else who like me didn't know how to work their car. ;-)
I believe the lighting for the floor is called mood lighting, ambient are on dash/doors.
Thanks! Sounds reasonable. A bit odd to me that 1) They both aren't controlled the same way. Perhaps, either both through the Infotainment and buttons or just one of these. 2) Nothing in the Index of the Owner's Manual or Features & Functions Guide for Ambient or Mood Lighting. Even under Lighting there's no mentioned of either. I didn't even know about that button initially and still have not been able to find it in any of the manuals.
Which manual and where in that manual?
That interior light kit is entirely separate because it’s an accessory. You can add it to any Telluride. It should have come with a little card somewhere with your manuals. If it didn’t, here you go:
Excellent! Thanks. No, I do not have this card in any of my manuals or in the glove box.
I know there hasn't been any activity recently, but I was wondering if anyone else with the "Vehicle Controller Error" has had any resolution?
So! My initial post here did not happen. I ended up missing the appointment due to work schedule conflict and attempted to reschedule but was told it would be a month or so before they could get me in to just take a look at it.
I haven't updated since my last trip to the dealer. I called the dealer, and they told me to bring it in as they had received the software fix. After they "fixed it" the dim while driving option was gone. At first, I didn't think much of it as I didn't want that option anyways. The problem is the lights still auto-dim when not in park. The code didn't fix the issues. It just got rid of the option not dim while driving. I wonder if any of the newer 2022s have that option to dim while driving, and if so does it work? Or does the ambient lights on all 2022 Tellurides now dim when not in park?
That is how it has always worked, dims out of park. The reason some initially sold 2022 models had that option at all in the menus was likely an oversight by the software engineers. Since they like to reuse the same software and user documents across all Kia car models when possible. As evident in the Feature and Functions guides where some parts absolutely no sense for the Telluride (ie. tilting headrests).
The frustrating thing is we had a 2020 Telluride, and the ambient lights didn't dim out of park. Every time I drive our 22 at night I miss our 2020 Telluride haThat is how it has always worked, dims out of park.

Maybe the Sorento or Seltos actually has the option to stay bright out of park.
