Maxdriver Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi all and thanks for reading. So this is a 68 plate new shape manual focus used for driving tuition. Electric handbrake is auto-releases when you find enough bite to make the car move. All has been fine most of the time, but it goes through spells which last a week or two at a time when the handbrake requires so much force to auto release that it will stall unless you release it manually by pressing the parking brak button down. Obviously this is very confusing for my learners who expect it to perform the same every time. When it’s working normally outside of these intermittent periods, it requires very little bite on the flat to release. More bite and gas is required uphill which is fully understandable. Anyone heard of this before? My guess is a fault with some kind of pitch sensor perhaps? obviously the car is under warranty but every time I book it in, the dealership has such a waiting list the fault resolved itself before the booked appointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sounds like the abs module needs a software update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that have to be done at the dealership or can I do it via WiFi on the touch screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Dealer visit for abs, I would book it in again for them to have a look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't update any module's software by WLAN / WiFi. Only Sync is updated using WLAN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
