There is not a ton of training provided to service advisors and they are not techs. You will often know far more about your car than they do.

Now why they do not have a robust desktop search capability which offers all of this up to them when they enter your client portfolio is because of the stupid dealership model. Otherwise they would have current software with a little "AI" tool pointing the to potential issues. We are lucky there is enough coordination for the to be able to troubleshoot the current battery issue.

Agree - wasnt being too critical of SA, but the fact that the desktop tool has no utility to search on common issues is not good...

I had this problem after removing my door and disconnecting it. Not sure if you did the same. I got an OBDeleven and was able to clear the fault, and it is back to working normally. Maybe try that.

this is the one I purchased, you can purchase it from the OBDeleven website for a bit less I believe. You just click scan in the OBDeleven app and then it will let you view faults and you can just click clear and it goes back to normal.

Thank you! Picked it up on Amazon and it worked! Cleared 16 faults. $57, beats paying dealer a few hundred $$$
