I've been Flat Towing my Badlands 2dr Sasquatch, for well over a year and many many miles.
Just starting this week, and I think after an update. When putting it in Tow mode and I lift my foot off the brake I get Brake system errors.
and it disables the collision advoidance. I have never seen these errors in all the times i've taken it in and out of tow mode. With this error it seems to pump up the brakes making them harder to push and also if you forget to take the parking brake off it will not let you.
I also got it in a state where I could not get it out of tow mode and it is was stuck in park but it would still roll when trying to get it out of tow mode. Anyway, Im wondering is anyone out there can put their recently updated 2dr in and out of tow mode to see if they have the same issue.
the procedure is.
Foot off the brake hit start,
Foot on the brake hit 2h on the dial and then put it in neutral
Keeping foot on the Brake.
got Back to the Main Menu , down to settings then down to Tow mode.
hold ok until it engages.
Let me know if at this point you get any errors, When you let your foot off the brake.
and that you can enable and disable your parking brake.
It should say Tow Mode is enabled and keep it in Neutral.
so on the 2dr all you do to get it out of tow mode if you shut it off , is to push start without holding the brake,
hold the brake and put it in park, it should then disable tow mode.
the 4dr procedure is differnt so i would have to look that up. I just know when i followed the 4 dr procedure here its wrong for the 2dr.
after seeing this , I thought maybe they pushed an update that broke it.
