Ran a VHR on the Mojave Road trip for the hell of it and I just received the report today when I got home.

One Red issue:


"Urgent
TC, IVD, RSC Event or Fault"

Bringing the truck into the dealership to check it out and I also have a coupon for a free tire rotation as well.

Ok,

I figured out what happened here.

The VHR is too smart for it's own good.

I just went out and ran another report with the Raptor idling in my driveway.

Now, the previous
Urgent
TC, IVD, RSC Event or Fault

is now replaced with an URGENT BRAKE FAULT.

Reason?

My emergency brake was on when I ran the report.

So, while I was off road Friday morning with the traction control deactivated, I ran the VHR and it reported it as a "potential" fault......even though I had turned the system off on purpose.


Going to CANCEL my dealer service visit for tomorrow due to these findings.

Hopefully this will save anyone some trouble by taking the VHR too literally when the fault (err not really) being reported is normal operation (TC off in desert, or E-brake activated in driveway)

So, truck is fine.

if you had a 6.2 that wouldn't have happened...time to upgrade. Maybe Kyle wants your leftovers??
