Brake Coach Shenanigans

NeuroDawg · May 23, 2024

If this has been discussed elsewhere, I wasn't able to find it.

While it's not important in the grand scheme of things (like my "blocked front sensors" issue my dealer can't fix) I'm having an issue with the brake coach. It's fun to play with, but I've found the following:

1. Brake coach worked steadily, on multiple trips, until I turned it off in the instrument control panel.
2. I tried to turn it back on, but the selection to do so was already selected and did not change when I attempted to do so.
3. Reset IPC in FORScan, and brake coach works again.
4. If I turn off brake coach, then the selection gets "stuck" again and I can't turn it back on. Only a reset of the IPC fixes the issue.

So my questions.
a) Has anyone else seen this and were you able to fix it.
b) Is there a way to force a reset/restart of the IPC without resorting to FORSCan. I know how to reset the center screen, with the seek forward and power button, but that doesn't reset/reboot the IPC.

Thanks.

I've noticed it but it fixes itself. My brake coach only gets turned on by an update reset. I turn it off but notice the checkbox is on and I can't immediately uncheck it. Not a big deal for me as I don't use it but I can see how you would.

Same for me as Heliian. I turned it off and it was stuck just like you're reporting it, then I couldn't turn it back on because the box was already checked. Then one day I got an OTA and it was on again. I haven't touched it since.

I would imagine that happened because the software update reset the IPC. I just got updated to 4.2.1.1 and have yet to see if that changed this behaviour.
