Anyone experiencing Park Pawl noise 40 - 50 mph, when you press gas pedal after coasting..
i never had this problem just started after the update ( is that going to damage the diff ?
after the update .. Park Pawl at low speed improved , but more i feel it on reverse .

What leads you to believe that it is the Parking Pawl? That device should not be active at those kinds of speeds. Not saying it is not, just curious about your diagnostic process.

based on the noise i use to hear when the car come to complete stop , similar to that noise less aggressive .. something like (PURRRRR)

That's not the park pawl. It is resonance of gear train play in the differential which is no different than any other rear wheel driven vehicle but you hear it in the karma because of the phasing of the electric motors. With a traditional gas powered car there is constant forward torque being applied by the transmission so you don't hear the play. With electric motors at low speed they tend to oscillate thus causing the rattle. It really is harmless but a nuisance none the less. 530 applies torque bias or a constant forward torque (minimal) to try to eliminate the oscillation. It can't however fully eliminate it on every car.

i didn't have it before , just happened after 530 update ,, will 535 might fix it?
did u notice it in other cars ?

 

[FiskerPhilly]

No. 535 will definitely NOT fix this. 535 is only battery sw. The only issues we had were with hcu sw changing the diagnostic of the park pawl and throwing a park system service required message and won't come out of park.

 

[smggsm]

what is causing the hcu issue? bad differential?

 

[FiskerPhilly]

Karma has 2 park sensors in the rdm. Apparently the new sw looks at both sensors whereas the older sw may have only been looking at one and not comparing the 2. So if one sensor is not working properly it throws a fault right away.

I am not on 530 as yet, but after I got the hard splines there was a noise at highway speeds that was not there with my previous RDM. Sounds metallic at 50-60 mph.
