Trophy volatile internal temperature displaying

[jc31]

Hi everyone,
yesterday our Trophy had something of a fit. We tried to change the temperature and fan speed and it became unresponsive. The internal temperature seemed to be cycling rapidly between 17 and 33 degrees.

has anyone else had this experience?

Should have specified MG4 Trophy

I haven't heard of this before. Is it still doing it today?

Sometimes the software gets in a knot especially when the various modules and sensors don't start in the correct sequence. But as IT help desks often advise "switch it off and on again" helps to sort it out.

When I started the car this morning after it had been on charge overnight I got messages saying that LKA was not available, auto-hold error and the infotainment screen remained blank. When I got back in to the car after taking the dogs round the park everything was back to normal.

We stopped for lunch and it sorted itself out.

We had exactly this during a road trip with our Luxury/Trophy in July. We wanted to increase fan speed since it was closing in on 40C outside. The temp did flipp-flopp and the fan went on full speed.
For us a reboot of the infotainment system (+10 sec press on the physical button) solved the problem.

You can get assorted errors if the boot order of the modules are out of sync. A normal reset (get out of the car - lock and un-lock it) will normally solve that problem.

I don't think you need to get out of the car, powering down from the info screen followed by a short tap on the brake pedal works for me.
