The following release notes are for ELD Focus users.
Key Notes
- In this update we’ve added greater visibility into when the tablet loses communication with the vehicle’s ECM. Users may notice an increase in the appearance of the ECM Disconnect warning icon in the top banner of the app, occurring primarily after ignition Off. Loss of ECM communication after ignition off is expected functionality since the vehicle’s diagnostics are no longer communicating with the device. If this icon appears any time during Ignition On then troubleshooting may be required.
- This update does include a known issue that is actively being addressed, to be resolved in future releases, but should have no impact on usability or compliance.
- After an Automatic Driving event, when the car is parked and ignition off, and an Automatic On Duty (Not Driving) status is triggered (6-minute timer), an inaccurate Data Diagnostic Detected event occurs signaling loss of GPS (Data Diagnostic 3).
- Users will see an alert icon in the top banner of their app when this occurs, and the alert will remain active until the next status change. Once a status change takes place, the Data Diagnostic is cleared.
