We have had a few people that have had a sensor fail and because they never ran the Factory Defaults & Memorize Sensors command after their installation the ALP did not alert them of the sensor failure. In our First Steps After Installing the AL Priority Thread this is Step 4:
Perform a Factory Reset
Same as with the G9, the ALP system will memorize the number of connected sensors only when Restore Defaults options is activated. Since an ALP set is powered on many times before it is actually installed in the customer car (factory test, dealer test, garage installer test, customer test, etc.) there is no real „first“ power-on. That is why installer/customer decides when the system is ready to memorize the sensor state. ALP novelty compared to the G9 is that not only the number of sensors is memorized but also the exact ports where they are connected for more security.
Procedure for performing the Factory Reset:
Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu (LED will change yellow)
Press NEXT (Menu Button) five times (5)
Press ENTER (Power Button)
After the next firmware update due out soon anyone that has not performed this step with get a failure message at start-up until they perform this step. Once you run the factory defaults command you will need to re-load your setup file and now the ALP will be able to continue to monitor your install for any sensor issues. If at any time you add or remove sensors you must run this step again to have the ALP memorize the new setup.
