Default AIM shift light module failing

Hey all

Installed the shift light module today (connected to an MXP). Worked in the morning once and then started flashing just the left most red light.

AIMs docs haven’t been helpful and not finding other forum discussions on this.

I’ve tried various combinations of reconfiguring it.

The device’s firmware does show up in Race Studio 3 when looking at the MXP.

Thoughts?

It's stuck in booter or update. Try updating the dash firmware.

Beauty. Downgraded and upgraded the firmware and the dash reflashed the shift light module. Looks good now!

I submitted a support request to AIM, waiting to hear back.

The problem has gotten worse, the shift light module gets reflashed periodically by the dash, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. Now the GPS module is getting a reflash maybe every 3 or 4 times I start the car. The shift light module has also started failing mid-race from time to time, which is not super fun

Sorry to hear of your trouble. Reach out to the Lake Elsinore office, they'll be glad to help.

You can call either office. The guys can all help you. And there are more guys at the office in Roanoke this week.

Make sure you have the dash FW up to date. The latest FW should fix these issues.

GPS09 I presume?

Got a response almost simultaneously to posting this update. Will share what we learn. Latest firmware, 2.40.21. I believe it’s the GPS09, Vali installed the GPS. MXP and shift module were bought new at the start of the year.
