Maverick is being returned to Ford, hopefully our part ex 2019 Silverado is still at ford to get back

If I wanted to test, engine off steering and brakes on my hybrid. How would I go about doing this?
I don't want questions later on like, 'Why didn't you do it this way?'

I think you could try key-on-engine-off and not have power steering or power brakes. But it's been a while since I worked on a Toyota hybrid and I'm not certain that the Maverick hybrid follows the same logic.

You could also try shifting to neutral then turning the car "off" or as off as it's willing to go. It may shift to park automatically.

Good to know. I'm curious how that works with an electrically actuated master cylinder. Do they have a secondary hidden somewhere?

This is really pushing my rusty knowledge of Toyota hybrid systems and I'm not certain it's the same way on the Maverick but from what I recall, in bypass mode (AKA, regular driving), the braking system flow goes your foot on brake pedal > stroke simulator > brake management system > hydraulic pressure and/or regenerative braking.

In failsafe (normal) mode, it goes your foot > master cylinder > hydraulic pressure. This is possible because the system is "normally" in failsafe mode and requires electrical power to be in "bypass" mode and use the stroke simulator. If electrical power is lost (such as when the vehicle is powered off), a solenoid mechanically closes and puts the braking system into failsafe/normal mode.

This is also why (at least Toyota) hybrids cannot have their hydraulic braking systems bled by conventional means (such as pumping the brake pedal or gravity bleeding). Pumping the brakes won't do anything in bypass mode and even in failsafe mode, it will only generate pressure on the front brakes.

Hence why you need to use a scan tool with bidrectional communication and brake bleed functionality (or the backyard way of getting the vehicle in maintenance mode by jumping pins on the OBD and following a sequence of key-on-key-off steps). The scan tool just commands the braking system to pump fluid out. Makes it literally a one person job, which is nice.

Word of caution - Holding tour breath until the guy shows up again would result in you transitioning through every shade of Maverick Blue before passing out from a lack of O2...

I'm inclined to agree. And that takes into account the additional time it takes to turn blue since I'm a Black man.

You mean the guy who got upset when someone simply asked about his body type to see if that was anything to do with it, and was adamant that he was "NOT FAT!!!" That guy, who later in the same thread, mentioned he was something like 6'-4" and 325 lbs, but "THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE MAVERICK SEATS SUCK!!!" That guy?

Yep. That guy. I even acknowledged that every person is unique, and he may simply be one of those who find the seat uncomfortable even though most other find them acceptable. He then went on a rant saying that I had not done an official statistically accurate survey. Kinda insulted me and accused me of defending Ford because I work at a dealership.

Both of his threads were lockedand the guy was banned

Yep. So he went to the Maverick Facebook groups and someones YouTube Maverick review video and commented. Got mad at everyone who said that the seats were fine to them

Maybe he felt the seats were uncomfortable because he was sitting in the wrong direction?

Maybe he had a "condition"?
Steatopygia is the state of having substantial levels of tissue on the buttocks and thighs leading to a protruding 90-degree angled appearance and accompanied by lordosis. This build is not confined to the gluteal regions, but extends to the outside and front of the thighs, and tapers to the knee producing a curvilinear figure. The term is from the Greek stéar (στέαρ), meaning "tallow", and pugḗ (πυγή), meaning "rump".[1][2][3][4]

So he needs to be driving an old conversion van with the giant Captain’s Chairs. Maybe he had retro’d one of those seats into the Silverado.

Black and blue is normally the result of a painful process...
As far as the OP goes, just re-reading his original rant, it seems like mostly the guy had issues that should have been evident on a test drive, or his inabilities to drive a vehicle safely.
Perhaps the tale was from a troll-bot.

If the guy was real, the dealer probably deserves some sympathy, as it is unlikely the guy was much fun to talk to. Perhaps his visit included some input from law enforcement...

On the plus side, he's improved the forum by his absence.

FYI, he's still hanging around.

Apparently the "get my Sliverado back" didn't work out..

I'm guessing it was a bit of Buyer's Remorse.
Going from a Silverado or an F-150 down to a Maverick can the earth shattering for some.

 

[Finnster]

I'm still hoping he will reappear and finish his story!

I almost resemble that remark.... But, I find the seats to be comfy enough.

I bet this guy and the Auto headlamps/AC guy could really get together and just all out "Pinky and the Brain" the whole world with ease.
