Default chrono not working.

hey guys. just bought a 2007 gt3 - 16k miles.

I know the chrono's asthetic is heavily debated, however, it drives me nuts when stuff doesn't work as intended. there's no chrono menu in the function display either. any ideas?

Might be turned off in the computer. When we were disabling my TPMS, we accidentally turned Chrono off. Had to use the Autologic console to turn it back on.

Took a couple minutes.

thanks for the quick response. Is this something any shop can help with or just the dealer?

We did this at my indy shop. As long as they have the requisite technological goodies, should be good to go.

chrono+ then ... it must have been deactivated via PIWIS ... question is what was being done when this occurred ... dealer or well equiped indy can re-enable

if I were you I'd check the service history to determine who touched the cars config and why

I would agree, however there are some who would like to see the bumperettes go. Like they do in europe.

This is a good reminder to check if mine is functioning. Last time I checked was probably a year or more.
