Refer to KSD2/AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.

During the same workshop visit, if a vehicle also requires another Technical Campaign or repair that also

includes programming and encoding the control units, the programming procedure may only be invoiced one

time.

Vehicle Programming and Encoding

A. The programming procedure automatically reprograms and encodes all vehicle control modules which

do not have the latest software i-level. If one or more control module failures occur “during” this

programming procedure:

• Please claim this “consequential” control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in

this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.

Please explain this additional work (The why and what) on the repair order in the claim comments

section.

B. For control module failures that occurred “prior” to performing this programming procedure:

• When “covered” under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work

using the applicable defect code and labor operations (including diagnosis) in KSD2/AIR.
