Dashboard warning signs

[Ladyshar]

Anyone had an issue with dashboard warning signs e.g hill assist not available, abs not available, forward collision not available, lane assist not available? If yes, what was the solution ? TIA

I have witnessed these types of warnings on the ZSEV myself on both models of the ZS EV.
They can sometimes be false warnings that can be triggered by something getting picked up by the detection sensors, or in some cases a bright sun burst onto the front windscreen.
Or heavy rain or frost covering them on start up etc.
Normally they just clear from the dash panel after a while, or they don’t appear again on the next start up.
If they are coming up every single time you boot up the car, then there could be an issue.
One of the problems of having all of this tech and software running just about everything in the car, it can and does sometimes flag up issues that are not really issues at all, just a glitch in the system !.
These cars are mobile computers these days.

My wife called me the other day, dash was lit up like a pinball machine.

Told her to just drive it whereever she needed to go and leave it.

When she returned 1 hour later, the dashboard was still lit up, but after driving for 2 minutes they all cleared.

She tried the "hold down house button until screen goes black" and "Have you tried turning it off and then on again" but it did not work.

If she had, still had the lights in the dash when she got home, she would have done the 10mm reset. (I mounted a quick disconnect on the battery negative terminal, just for cases like this).

Holding down of the “Home” button is great fix when the info / radio unit decides to throw one of its unknown glitches / freezes etc.
The disconnecting of the negative terminal of the 12 volt battery, leave 10 minutes and then reconnect, will reset all of the modules in the car.
Pretty much the last ditch resort before making a visit to the dealer unfortunately.
Numerous warning lights can be triggered also by an under charged 12 volt battery, or if the battery is on its last legs .
The car detects that there could be an issue on the 12 volt side, maybe due to the low battery voltage status, it can then trigger a chain reaction, which can cause multiple systems to report possible faults.
The system can quickly be that totally overwhelmed with the number of possible fault codes it is receiving, all at the same time, it just can’t deal with them all.
Numerous none connected fault codes are then stored / logged in the cars system and can sometimes need clearing.
In an ICE this can put the car into “limp” mode that will drastically reduces power to the engine etc.

They usually come up when the infotainment system is slow to boot up, or fails to boot. This rubbish software is the only thing wrong with the car and MG don't seem bothered by it. I think it was written by the apprentice and never checked.
