MyView Resets

[cc1999]

Yes, I periodically loose several of my setting, my view is just one of them.

No pattern nor rhyme or reason for when it happens.

Happens to me too. I'm FP tuned but it was happening before the tune. Happens once a week. sometimes more often. It's annoying.

Mine actually reset the other day when my battery got low enough not to start the truck.

Given I lost my settings here with low voltage, I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with the battery minder Ford has installed on the negative terminal. Probably commands a stand-by mode of certain modules after a certain time frame to reduce current draw, and a full module shutdown at lower battery voltages. I'd bet a nickel that coming out of stand-by reverts to Trip 1 as the start screen, and shutdown completely resets the memory.

I thought mine was resetting but its actually randomly starting in another view like "trip A." I just hit the Return button on the steering wheel and go back to MyView and its all there.

It’s been happening to my display a little more frequently lately, and this is how I remedy it as well.

Yesterday mine again changed to the trip mode when I started the Ranger after running an errand.

Ya, it’s quite annoying. Not sure why they have a MyView setting if it’s gonna constantly reset. Def a glitch…

Same here

I think there is something to reset with low voltage. when I drive my truck daily no issue. If I don’t drive it for a few days is resets. Once I put a battery tender on it when I am not driving it daily there has not been an issue.

AHA!! I think you are both correct. I do indeed notice the exact same behavior when not daily driving. Love this forum. Thx for putting the pieces together!

Mine doesn't happen when I first start the truck, even if it sat for a day or two. It happened after the truck was driven the day before, but again not when I first started the truck. I drove 20 miles to the dentist and it happened when I left. Strange.

I drive mine daily to work and back and it still resets a couple times a week. So maybe the issue is a weak battery but not so weak the truck doesn't start.
