Are you referring to the OBD connector, and is it a momentary connection between pins or does it need to be held shorted?

Cheers, Mike

No NOT the ODB connector, the service connector.

Thanks Martin. I'll find the service connector and give it a go.

ESP OFF/ON: Brief press - disable/enable stability and traction control

ESP LONG PRESS when in 4WD LOW - Turns off Hill Descent control

4WD LOW - ESP is automatically turned off.

SPEED above 30MPH - ESP turns back on automatically even if disabled.

Slight correction... ESP LONG PRESS when in 4WD LOW - Turns off Hill Hold

Apologies for borrowing the topic, again. :unsure:

My weekly Resting Voltage Readings have been stable since changing the oil and are above the voltage readings taken when using a 5W30 oil.
Conclusion, thinner oil is what the motor needs and it responds accordingly!

Changing from a 5w/30 oil to a 5w/20 isn't going to improve battery voltage or charge levels.
