    Reset/restart blind spot assist?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I noticed recently that my blind spot assist has stopped working - the lights never come on. However, there are no related fault codes and I can manually turn the lights on using the module test function.

    Is there a way to reset/reboot this feature to maybe get it to start working? It's strange that it's just stopped without a fault or anything.

    Silly question but do you have the button by the driver side mirror pressed and little red light is on? Honestly i have customers come with the same concern as you and they simply never pressed the button.

    Same here. I assumed it was something that was reset to a default value after flashing the computer, but I could be 100% wrong in that assumption

    You know, that is entirely possible. It did seem to stop working around the time I got tuned, and I have never even looked at that button.

    Every time I get my car back and there was ECU play, it seems stuff doesn't work. The express on the windows most noticeably. Once you cycle them up and down, they are fine.

    I have the same problem. I have turned the switch by the mirror off and on a few times. The lights work. The switch lights up. But it isn't "flashing" when someone approaches me on either side. Any ideas?
