Ain't that the truth. I was telling a kid the other day--in the old days, if something wasn't working right, you just pounded on it a couple of times. Now, you just reboot.

Yeah - I have been through a couple of AirBus reboots! One to get the latrines working

Late reply, but yes, it does....

My 97 Taurus had a fault in its climate control system once that caused it to go into a safe mode. Turns out that it does a self-calibration, and if it fails during the calibration for any reason, it goes to a safe mode to prevent damage.

I was wondering why it was only blowing hot air, then I found out a simple reboot sequence to send it through the calibration again.... passed with flying colors and never had a problem again.

I was just about to say - is the car’s computer Windows-based?
