Update Programming for Engine Control Module and Transmission Control Module, Slight Hesitation
Concerns

Tip:
This software update is designed to re-program both the ECM and TCM with new software. The reprogramming itself should carry out both updates without technician intervention. Please ensure both
ECM and TCM software has been updated after the flash is performed
This software update is for slight hesitation related concerns for DSG equipped vehicles only.

Note:
The supplied software for slight hesitation is not associated with stalling or other performance issues.
If the ECM/TCM fault memory contains faults, these faults must be addressed before performing this Technical
Bulletin.
If no fault codes are found in the ECM/TCM fault memory: DO NOT diagnose or replace any components before
performing the update function as explained in this bulletin.

Technical Background
Current ECM/TCM programming could be causing slight hesitation related concerns in DSG equipped vehicles
(depending on driving conditions).

Production Solution
Improved ECM/TCM software to address drivability concerns and slight hesitation complaints.

Update-Programming Procedure:

Tip:
To Update-Programming using SVM, review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin Instance 2014603
“Software Version Management”.
The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A
warranty claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim.

Note:
Prior to launching VAS-PC application and starting control module update process, confirm tester screen saver
and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment - Service Information Circular # VSE-08-18.
Failure to do so may result in the tester entering power save mode during data transfer, and subsequent control
module failure.
When using a VAS 6150/5051B or VAS 5052A tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head
for a flash procedure, please connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Failure to do so
may lead to errors during the flash procedure.
