|
|
So, as the subject line says, when I back up a steepish incline there is a fast and intermittent clicking that occurs. It sounds like maybe a relay but I can't figure out why it might happen in that situation. Does anyone know if the EV has any AOA sensors that might be part of the stability control program?
Any other ideas? _________________ As a good friend told me when I got the Syncro: "Welcome to the an intense love/hate relationship". |

are you sure it's electrical?
the electronic climate control (MV) will "click" adjustments based on the incoming air temp. going in reverse changes the incoming air temp. |

Good call, but I have a weekender so it's not the climate control. It's definitely electrical and it's a really rapid series of loud clicks. It really sounds a lot like a relay. _________________ As a good friend told me when I got the Syncro: "Welcome to the an intense love/hate relationship". |

The EV only has a longitudinal and lateral accelerometer in it. So it can determine the yaw and pitch. Stability programs use those because you want to control the yaw for stability and pitch for ABS. |

It seems that this is where I am now. Looks like it is the SAI system.
