It was precisely consistent, with each and every one taking the same timing plus or minus half a second. I repeated this TEN TIMES, because if this wasn't consistent than there was no way I could convince myself that witnessing a "hard" reset was or wasn't real. The display started back up 11 seconds later and was fully on 4 seconds after that. I engaged the reset of the instrument cluster (holding down both buttons above the thumbwheels) without the brake pressed and the display went down at 14 seconds. I went out to my car with stopwatch in hand. right? If we can't agree on that, then you're dismissing my entire premise so no need to read on. one takes longer than the other, right? If you unplug your router and plug it back in, that takes a different amount of time than if you do so while holding the reset, right? A "hard" reset is simply going to take longer than a soft one. For example, you do a soft restart of your Windows system vs. another didn't affect the time to some degree. In all my years working with electronics, I have never ever EVER experienced a system where one type of startup vs. I'm not one to put my thoughts as correct and others as nonsense without at least SOME experimentation, so that's what I did. I mean, if there REALLY is a difference, they don't want you doing one vs the other all willy-nilly, right?īut.

to me that made little sense because if there truly is a difference between "hard" and normal resets, surely they'd want a less conspicuous trigger than something you probably press out of muscle memory whenever you're sitting in the driver seat and not driving. not had to be complete nonsense, but it could be possible that the brake is a secondary hardware input signaling the computer to do a "hard" reset vs. As far as the brake goes: pressing it hard vs.
while powered on, so holding it down through the complete cycle *can* make a difference. it is possible to trigger a true hard reset by having the button pressed at the beginning of a power on vs.
You can't trigger it "harder" by holding it down longer. Once a reset is triggered, it is triggered.
#Prius master reboot how to
First, the time component: We've all had experiences when some low-tier tech support rep at our ISP says to unplug the router and wait 30 seconds, so that must be how to do it right? The time element is ONLY to clear a capacitor, ensuring power has fully been turned off. Neither of these made much sense to me, but both were plausible. no wait, press it "hard", while doing the common reset and you'll do a "hard" reset 2) hold the reset switch down for 20, no 30, no 45 seconds to get to the "hard" reset. The general "consensus" seems to settle on two different ways to achieve the same magical state: 1) Press the brake. There are many MANY other threads, blogs, etc all spreading the same information. but that thread contains more of the same: pure conjecture and a bunch of - I believe - nonsense. One even links to a different thread, presumably as evidence that there is in fact a difference. Here's a particular and recent thread on the subject (different forum, sorry) where you'll see several people explaining that there's a difference. Some even purport to say there are times when such a reboot is "necessary". Some go to painstaking detail in outlining the crazy voodoo steps required to engage this magical hard reboot. A few times I've come across posters mentioning a "hard" reboot vs a soft or normal one.
