TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

[ExcursionDiesel]

Why do you need that, is there a problem with the 03 version?

As a few have reported, the "Line Lock" can cause "Service Stability Control" errors. I accidentally engage Line Lock while the truck ignition was on but not running. Don't do this. I can't get Cruise Control enabled due to the Stability Control fault to navigate the menus in the Tazer DT to run a "Full Reset" function. I'm stuck. The older firmware doesn't require the Cruise enabled to navigate the menus. I want to flash mine back to 18.0.1 so I can reset everything in hopes it will clear my "Service Stability Control" fault. Using Torque to clear the CEL's doesn't clear Stability Control faults.

My truck runs but refuses to leave neutral if the CEL is on. I can clear it and drive but it will come back on requiring clearing CELs again. I'm trying to avoid a dealer visit. I can't even Unmarry the Tazer DT since Cruise is disabled and Tazer DT menus are inaccessible. I REALLY need v18.0.1!

I'm curious as well mine came with. 01 and I couldn't even get it married. Every time I went to select it would jump to next function. I downloaded .03 and it worked per directions.

Update: I posted on Z-Automotive's FB Group and got the 18.0.1 firmware sent to me. Those guys are awesome. So I guess I was the unlucky one that discovered the fact that Line Lock will attempt to engage when the engine is off if mapped to one of the Cruise keys. Oops. This is an unforeseen anomaly. Unfortunately that sets off the "Service Electronic Stability Control" message and faults one of the control units to a state that WILL NOT clear with a CEL reset using a scanner. With this fault present, Cruise can't be engaged and therefore the Tazer DT can't be used to do a "Full Reboot" which resets all the CPUs on the truck. I downgraded to version 18.0.1 firmware which allowed me to get to the menus and do the full reset. After that, Z-Auto had me long press the Traction Control button to fully disable ESC/Traction Control then turn OFF the truck. After I restarted all ESC errors where gone. My CEL was still on and I used the Torque App with my handy $10 OBD2 Bluetooth adapter to clear it. Now I'm back to normal.

I've done some reading and these trucks, especially the 4WD models, have a complex ESC system that requires a service person to reset certain specific ESC conditions due to the firewall module that isolates the controls. Fortunately, the Tazer DT has the ability to reset ESC also since it replaces the firewall module....except that the ESC faults lock out the cruise button which is needed in Tazer DT v18.0.3 to perform the reset. I suspect Z-Auto will create a "backdoor" full reset by long pressimg a button in a future firmware release. In the meantime, don't enable Line Lock without the engine running and in Drive (with Start/Stop Off on Etorque trucks).

I'm a happy Z-Auto customer! They were very responsive.

Question I saw in another post. One member wants to turn off the door chime. He says it continues to chime when the door is open if you are cleaning out the truck or working on it. You know how it's nice to hear the music well working on your truck with the door open without the annoying time. Is it possible for the taser to deactivate the door chime? Does anyone know?

I turned mine off, there is a YouTube Video on it. Very simple..

I have read through all 38 pages, and I don't believe these questions have been answered. Hoping some others may have some insight.

1) If you have Parksense Front and Rear Park Assist w/ Stop- will activating "Set Blind Spot" allow you to have the blind spot message and beep work? I do not have the mirrors with blind spot indicators, so obviously no mirror alert, but wondering if center display and beep will work.

2) What options are others seeing in the DRL location? I am only seeing "off" "turns" and "low beams"? Also, what does Canada vs. USA indicate?

Thank you in advance for any insight.

1- No. You don't have the part that monitors Blind Spot. (Tail light)

2-
Off = Off.
Turn = Amber turn signals are on all the time and used as DRLs.
Low beam = turns on halo + low beam as DRLs.
US = DRLs aren't mandatory.
Canada = DRLs are mandatory.
I think on "Canada" you can't turn your DRLs off.

Only issue I have is some times the Tazer will not go to sleep mode and if the truck is not driven for a couple of days when it does you find a dead battery when you try and take of. ): Very annoying! The one on the Scat Pack Charger is two years old and no issues what so ever!

I have this problem now with the Tazer not going to sleep mode. Is there any fix or a setting that causes this? Dead battery 3 times.....

I'm curious as well mine came with. 01 and I couldn't even get it married. Every time I went to select it would jump to next function. I downloaded .03 and it worked per directions.

Mine won't marry in .01 and .03 I cant even open the menu at all. I've been emailing them back and forth all day.

18.0.1 I can select marry and it blinks the lights and starts the reboot countdown and then nothing. It's still unmarried.

in 18.0.3 The menu doesnt even come up. howver a menu is under right plus resume with all the light shows and line lock, rock crawl, winch mode and "no function". this doesn't exist in 18.0.1. and it comes up without cruise on or off or engine on or off. its bizarre.

 

[Aseras]

Finally got mine to marry on 18.0.1 base flash. 18.0.3 just doesnt work. Bizzare. some shortcuts work. Main menu doesnt exist.

Got everything setup and happy and woke up to a dead battery this morning.

Off to a great start.

I was happy with the 18.01 and see no benefit to upgrade to 18.03 so I'm leaving mine alone.

I have a Tazer DT on its way. How do I know which version is loaded on it? Should I be worried if I have a 2020 Rebel?

Whatever it comes with, as soon as you get it you plug into your computer and you update it to the latest software.
After the update, if you have any problems, then you will go ahead and downgrade it.

When you go into the set-up screen on your truck, it will tell you what version. I would bet that all units shipping now are at 18.03

I received mine on Monday and it came with 18.0.1 and worked so I don't plan on going to 18.0.3. I only wanted to use features that don't require it be connected all the time so I removed it after I was done, I don't need a dead battery, lol

Why do you think your battery will be dead?
