Intermittent PSM failure comes up on multi screen on 981. Seems to be linked to a hot footwell on cold days. Blast cooler air at it and stop, switch off completely - key out - restart and it has cleared and will not do it again for days, or an hour later with the heater set to 'feet' and toasty.
OPC is miles away so not a case of zip it round and let them tinker, without a lot of planning. Anyone else experienced anything like this?
Pope if you are out there in the ether I would appreciate your input.
I am extremely suspicious of the brake switch,
A) because it is multi function
B) because it is a proximity type and the heat could be altering it's proximity sensing.
Weeks can go by without it happening.
Message is 'Warning PSM Failure' followed by 'Warning Auto Start Stop Failure'. Then, maybe the brakes stay slightly applied, or not depending on how it feels. Twice in six months and always on cold days.
I know it needs OPC love and care but I can't get it to then for about three weeks.

Thanks Chris. This is not a wind up? A known issue?

Do you know what form this issue takes?
