Has anyone had their JB4 reset while they're driving?

If you have the extension harness it can be dodgy, I had mine cut off and hard wired back in.

Also in general the JB4 harness is poor quality, replacing it might help.

For RHD E series N55 vehicles the harnesses has not been offered for some time. Instead they extend the blue solenoid connector making for a simpler and more reliable setup.

Yesterday I had a Carly Bluetooth adapter in and went to do a brake reset on my N55 135. Carly wouldn't pull info.

I Map 0 the JB4 and Carly worked.

Did the brake wear reset.

Went back to map 5 and Gauges would sweep every 30 secs or so.

Unplugged bluetooth and restarted car. No further issues.

So clearly neither wants to play with the other running.

Yeah, mine is doing the gauge swapping from time to time, it's just annoying. But now a new thing, While JB4 is connected my manual does not want to go to manual/sport mode. while JB4 is disconnected, everything is fine. Any ideas??? Did I put a setting without knowing it?? Please help!!

The JB4 shouldn't affect that. It sounds like the car itself is having issues.

I've had no issues with the Carly nor Vpeak obd2 adapters causing a reset of the JB4 while driving.

However I plugged in a cheap OBD2 display and my JB4 would reset every few minutes. Unplugging the display eliminated the problem.

I swapped it for a better unit and have no issues.

The gauge sweep while driving is a can bus problem.

Ahhh, just found a broken cable inside the shifter. That probably should be the culprit...
