Hi guys Has anybody seen similar? I have searched but found only a suggestion about either needing the car to be warm or the vents cycled to reset the controller. The vehicle manual does not mention anything that helped me. There are no flagged errors relating to the system when diagnostics...

Google Snooper SLD920X - I believe it is a laser speed gun detector/ jammer... use with caution. :!: Popular a few years ago, but easily spotted by enforcement teams today and can result in perversion of justice conviction. Drive safe!
