Brake hold not working

[Mcyclonegt]

My truck use to have brake hold. You would push on the brake at a stop and a small light would come on the bottom left of the gauge cluster. Now it doesn’t do it. Was there something in an update that deactivated it or did something accidentally get turned off?

It is called auto hold and I think you will find it under the driver assistance settings. Toggle on or off.

Good luck. I would miss that too.

It might also be off because your driver profile changed. I find when I do a remote start that it switches over to Guest profile and I lose some settings I had. So in addition to above suggestion check your selected profile.

Found it. Thanks for the fast responses. So many settings!

There was probably an OTA that shut it off. OTA sometimes do things like that, and you then have to re-enable the feature again.

You'll read in these forums about people whose trucks are no longer charging up to the limit they have set and are now charging to 100%....that sort of thing is also a result of OTA shenanigans (delete and reestablish the "Home" location and then redo your charging schedule to fix it).

After three years of MME and Lightning ownership, I've gotten used to recognizing the signs and also gotten used to having to occasionally reset things back to the way they were before the OTA happened.

Whenever my 24-hour setting on the clock switches to 12-hour, I know it's because there was an OTA that overrode my preference. It's on a minor annoyance now (but I do not understand why Ford has not yet fixed it.)

It's your truck reverting to the asbuilt values that are stored in the cloud. Sometimes the cloud server gets updated by the values that are in your truck's modules, and they then become 'persistent'. Sometimes the polling doesn't happen, and the cloud has the 'default' asbuilt settings saved. At the end of the OTA (or FDRS for that matter) update the configuration settings are put back into the modules' memory. So it's a matter of whether the current settings you have been using are the ones that get put back, or whether the default ones from the cloud are the ones that get stuck back in there.
