Actually this particular issue that we found only happening in this particular customer, was tracked to the JetiBox emulator operation, sending to the ecu random keystrokes. The Jetibox is a feature of Jeti radios allow to navigate through the menus of the ecu from the transmitter, it transmits keystrokes from transmitter buttons. The ecu reacted the same as if someone was clicking on the ecu buttons, so a particular keystroke sequence could upset the ecu parameters. We never arrived to know if the TX was sending these keystrokes on its own, or was noise. The Jeti protocol is robust, except the Jetibox buttons, that is a single byte transmission without any protection (CRC, checksum, etc) so the random noise in a particular installation could be randomly interpreted as a keystroke.



As said, seen only once.
