Spoke to the RM. He asked me whether the lights appeared while driving long distance or did they appear within 15 minutes of starting driving. I said - the car was parked overnight and I started tje journey at 4:15am. Within first 15kms, the lights came up. After hearing this, the RM mentioned that he is almost certain that its a problem of a rat chewing on wires and most probably its the left front side tyre where the rat would have attacked. So looks like its a problem that the service center guys are well aware off. I will take any further discussion on this to my ownership thread as rat-problems do not belong to the niggles thread. Why the wires of such critical components like ABS and ESP are not shielded and easily accessible to rats, is a doubt that would still trouble me. |

...When the workshop people showed up, they immediately went to work on the left side and said it's a very very common problem. I asked why they don't use steel braided wires for important wiring, but they said only the wiring harness bundle have steel braiding and individual wires to sensors don't have any sort of protection. :Shockked: |

This is bad! Mahindras, when you know that its a very very common problem and is apparently because of design-shortcuts (unshielded wires) or parts quality (assuming the wire-breakage is due to poor wire and not rat-bite), why isn't there a redesign so that the problem is fixed in all vehicles. I am getting increasingly frustrated by Mahindra's "wait and watch" approach to fixing issues. Why wait for individual vehicles to fail, rather than issuing a recall and addressing all vehicles in one shot? |

The yellow wire in the pic is the brake pad thickness sensor wire. It got cut on my car about a year ago. Like the RM said, it's a very common issue. |

Interesting. The brake-pad sensor has got nothing to do with HHC, HDC, ABS and ESP. So I doubt this wire is the one that has caused the 4 lights to glow. |

How has been the video quality on the display. I had tried playing from original CD's as well as avi from USB. See a lot of horizontal lines going up and down the screen, visible especially when the screen is showing a black screen like at the start of the movie. However, I see no lines when using the screen for any other purposes including maps. Also no lines when the black screen comes up informing "video will not be played when the vehicle is in motion". So the line issue (like noise) is present only when playing a video. And it is not related to the quality of the video file, since I even tried playing movies from original CD's, HD quality avi files etc. Have recorded the screen playing a video using my mobile. Though it would appear fine, if one looks closely, one can notice all those horizontal lines moving up and down, like in those old theatre screens:D. Not that it is a showstopper considering videos dont play when the car is in motion and no one waits inside the car for that long to watch a complete movie. But yet if it is a issue as such with the display would prefer to get it changed it within the waranty period. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbEDQxthDU |

I tried hard...but I can't seem to find anything wrong, probably try another video which shows a more prominent version of the problem.... |

I can't seem to find what's wrong with the video you've posted? If maps and everything else are displaying fine then the screen isn't a problem. Maybe something to do with the frame rate? Just a wild guess so experts please correct me if I'm wrong. |

If brake pads are worn out all above said functions would be get affected. So I guess they will have checks in software as a precondition for activating these features. For safety reasons this sensor will be a "normally closed" design and when the wire is cut it would sense as a fault trigger. I don't find anything unusual with this design / behavior. Though not securing the wiring in the right manner is something they can improve. thanks HCP |
