Is there something wrong with my ASS?

[GordoJay]

OK, drove across town running errands. My ASS worked normally starting at the stoplight a mile from my house. The ASS menu showed two different messages. Engine on, Normal and Engine off. The exact same information as the little green A with the arrow going around it. If the only other thing it shows is when my ASS is disabled it will duplcate the little gray A arrow with the slash through it symbol. That's useful. Not. If that's all it ever shows then it's just filler to make the menu look populated. I'll be running up the interstate in a day or two and will watch it then. I did program one of my gauges to show voltage and I'll watch that too. Nothing was abnormal about the voltage while running across town just now.

Found it. As @Antho and @smurfslayer said, it's under the trip menu. I'll watch it instead of the digital speedometer for a while. Thanks.

That’s what I do. There is an icon that lights up green when it activates but white with a line through it when it decides not to. That menu screen tells you why it decided not to.

mine often says it’s due to vehicle charging.

Need a second opinion? Stick a second finger in haha

Why have you stopped dancing?

I hadn't noticed that, I'll have to check into it. Must be something from the change over.

I looked at it while picking my son up today. Would not turn truck off because of ac/heat.

It's really disturbing. But somehow compelling.

Next highway trip we'll see. I've got a compressor coming in that I'll need to pick up in a few days. It just boggles my mind that I can drive 30 minutes at highway speed, get off the off ramp, stop at the light, and the little no ASS symbol pops up and the motor keeps running.
