Complaint:
"SOS mbrace Service Not Activated" displayed in Instrument Cluster after vehicle taken out of transport mode
Note: "SOS mbrace inoperative" is indicative of a different issue.
Cause: Over the Air Registration has failed or has not been completed
Remedy: 1.) Ensure vehicle is in a location with known good Verizon Wireless signal
2.) Verify location and time on head unit is accurate (e.g. ensure good GPS coverage)
3.) If ignition has been on for more than 4 minutes, cycle the ignition and wait for another 8 minutes
Note: If complaint has been resolved by step 3 then the system is working as designed. No warranty claim should be created (activity is included within standard PDI check).
4a.) If message remains in Instrument Cluster after the above steps have been taken (please perform step 4b in parallel to this step), call HTI dealer support (877-826-6319) with you vehicle information and state that the OTAR (Over the Air Registration) process has failed on the vehicle you are working on and that you have verified proper operating conditions prior to calling. They will assist you in completing the OTAR process.
4b.) In order to improve the overall registration process we need more information as to what may be causing vehicles to not register properly. To do this, please create PTSS case with the following symptom string: > Communication/information > Communication > Telematics service > TELEAID emergency call system > TELEAID function > Activation/deactivation fails and include the following in the case:

^ Confirmation that HTI has been contacted first and the account was properly set from their side. When in contact with HTI, what is the activation status of the customers account?
^ Have you experienced similar problems with other vehicles in the same location, please indicate vehicle/location/case.
^ When closing the case, please explain how the issue was resolved
