The Sledge console displays numbers that can be filtered by entering the respective filters containing the hex codes. The possible filters are ALL, Equals, Not Equal, Contains, Greater, and Less.

By process of elimination check the ranges of each control but to eliminate the noise we set the following filters:

188# equals 000000000000
244# equals 000000000000
019# equals 000000000000
080# equals 000000000000

The first code that stands out is 19B#0000000F2057, it spells out FROST in leet so we filter it as well. After setting all these initial settings there are no more readings if the controls are all set to the default values (0).

Now check the controls one by one, when testing the Brake control, it stands out that Break 080# returns two different types of values 000001-000064 and another set of values starts to appear when the break is higher than 3, all of them starting with FFFF so we add another filter for all 080# values containing FFFF in the first two positions, the testing with the started sleigh and acceleration seems fine so now we remove the initial filters and boom Sleigh deFrosted!

Final Filters

19B# equals 0000000F2057
080# contains FFFF
