I'm confused about how I got my Tazer to update on my Mac after this. I had do to a full update (restore or whatever it's called) and it took a few tries but it shows the latest firmware.
I just plugged it in and hit update. Didn't know there were issues. ZPU doesn't tell you of course, and it fetches updates as if nothing is off. If someone doesn't go online search and see issues, they won't know. I just kept updating until it worked. Only later (after it did it's auto update stuff) did I find that it has issues ?
Unmarry the Tazer, and see if you still have issues. I have had NO PROBLEMS with the Tazer. I bet you don't have any issues.Hate to jump in someone else’s thread with my issues but it seems like this is kinda a free for all.
I received my tazer yesterday. I downloaded everything to my PC and tried updating it. No luck after multiple tries and almost 3 hours. It just spins the progress icon and goes nowhere. I finally said screw it and went out and installed it. Everything seems to have worked but I discovered something today.
I decided to turn the traction control off for the first time. I was curious if it changed anything with the engine tuning. I did this stopped at a redlight. No issues with one press but I decided to press and hold it as this disables more nanny features in some vehicles. When I did that I get service abs, service stability control and almost every other warning light on the cluster. The engine surged to a higher rpm for a second and went back to normal idle. I drove it about a mile to where I was going and shut it down. When I restarted it everything appeared normal and no issues on the 3 miles home. I went out and tried it again a few minutes ago and get the same results. Anyone have any ideas? Is this some short cut to something in the tazer or just some random glitch that pisses it off? I have not unmarried and removed it yet to see if this stops but I feel like it’s probably related to it. I guess it may not really be a problem but I am curious.
I can live by the old joke if I know there is no other issue.

It may not be a problem as everything seems to be working including all my changes. Holding the traction control button down probably doesn’t do anything in the Jeep but I was curious. Ford and Chevrolet both make or have made vehicles where holding it down turns everything off versus one touch just turning traction control off. I had no concerns with using the tazer as I thought it was “the way” until I started reading some on here.
I guess I really didn’t think about the prom being defective or problematic. I just assumed that like half the other crap I get into, windows or some aspect of it was causing the issue. That or the update server was down. I will unmarry it tomorrow and try again. And yes I did a full reboot and two sleep cycles as stated in the papers I printed out.
A safe assumption! (That's what I meant by my unintentionally vague alliteration)
From what happens with my experience it is normal. If I don't hold TC button for long press I will still have some nanny controls working. All the lights and warnings you have is what happens with mine. When I wheel and need 4 LO I don't like the nanny stuff. What I have found is when the TC button is activated by 4 LO engagement or if I short press it I have some of the nanny stuff working. What I have found out in my case is that if you don't have an updated version, when you long press TC button front axle will not engage. All the lights you commented about light up. You now have low range but only rear wheel drive. Shut off jeep and restart and all is back to normal. I updated tazer to latest version and now when I long press TC button and do a double tap on TC button I have both front and rear axles engaged. So I guess I have a choice now to run in LO range with rear only or both axels engaged. The long press of the TC button operation is listed in your jeep manual. I believe that with the newer JLs that the electronic clutch in TC is different. I could be wrong. All I know is that it now works as I need it to. Hope this helps. I would be curious if this works the same with you.Hate to jump in someone else’s thread with my issues but it seems like this is kinda a free for all.

Wow. That's great.

I personally have had great customer service from Z-Automotive and if I have contacted them early in the day the response is usually within 10 minutes. I do wish there was someone to talk to on a phone but I can't complain with their customer service.
