Well my V1 has the “E” Code. I called VR and they told me to send it in.
All I did was change the battery in wife’s Jeep Cherokee, and when I powered up the V1 it displayed; “E” on the bogy counter, far left signal strength LED lit, and rear location arrow lit. This happens every time I turn the V1 on. If I press the mode switch it goes to the last mode I was in and every thing seems to work. Whats up with that? :D
The V1 is a 1.7 2.909
A power surge fried something. My first V1 was a similar vintage to yours (1.7) and I had the same thing happen after getting a jump start. I wrote to VR and they said something about a memory chip and to send it in. I lived with it for a year or so (hitting the button after power-up to clear the E) and it worked fine for the most part. I ended up doing an upgrade to a 1.8.
Whether you go for a repair or an upgrade, VR will take care of you. And next time you're unhooking batteries or hooking up jumper cables, make sure the V1 is off or unplugged first. ;)
That explains what happened, thanks for the great information. The V1 is boxed up and ready to ship off. :thumb2:Quote:
