Just curious of why you took the time to make this post??You are probably right, since this is not a brand new issue.
One would think that checking while still active and running (or at least key still on) has been tried. But, it could also be one of those things where anyone "could" have done it, and somebody "should" have done it, but nobody actually did do it.
While it is likely that this has been tried, I don't think any of us knows for sure. A simple call to Fleet Maint. might answer that question.
First, you claim that "it's probably/you think/likely been tried" because it's not a "brand new issue", then secondly you admit that "you don't know for sure."
(BTW, I noticed you played both sides of the fence in your 2nd paragraph)
Now, I'll disagree with your theory because as we all know, when a ghost braking event takes place you have to pull over/stop, shut the truck off, and remove the key from the ignition in order to reset the ECM so we can continue on with our tour safely. In the almost two years that we've been experiencing this issue in CLT, this is the FIRST time that a driver actually made it to the yard with the issue still active!! (In this case, the truck continued to ghost brake while driving around the yard!!) In every case beforehand, the driver had already reset the ECM in order to make it back safely which resulted in no active code being present when checked once they had made it back.
To assume that "it's probably/you think/likely been tried" because it's not a "brand new issue" is asinine...unless you can produce concrete evidence to show otherwise.
I tend to relate this issue with Michelin's 1st gen "energy tires" from several years back...everyone denied there was an issue with those tires until lives started being lost, then they released a 2nd gen "energy tire" while continuing to claim that there wasn't an issue with the 1st gen!!
