I’ve had this before on my RRS, ended up being the battery which was due for replacement anyway. visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk

^ +1 I used to get that message briefly on cranking, which would then clear as soon as the engine fired. Battery replaced, no more message. I can only guess the terrain response system is particularly sensitive to voltage.

Hi,
I had the same message on the screen last winter just after start up, it went away after 30 seconds. Last October I replaced the battery and so far this winter despite it being much colder no faults at all.

Regards Dave.

If you've got a charger handy it might not need a new battery. Mine's always done it in the winter when the battery you're using the heated screen etc.. and the battery isn't getting fully charged. Give it a good charge before chucking what might be a perfectly good battery!

They are just incomplete comm messages so ignore. I used to charge my battery at least once a week in the winter. I did put a new exide on it and it was fine for ages. But if it is cold these messages can appear at cranking stage James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.
