MODEL

Produced to 10/31/14

SITUATION

After programming to I-level F056-14-11-50x or higher, “coasting” while in green mode may no longer
function.
This feature is shown as activated in the green mode menu, and no relevant faults are stored.
CAUSE

An EGS software error (I-levels of F056-13-11-50x to F056-14-07-50x) leads to incorrect EEPROM data
when programmed to an I-level of F056-14-11-50x or higher.
CORRECTION

With the release of ISTA/P 3.55.3 or higher, this situation will no longer occur.
Perform the “Coasting” service function on vehicles programmed with an earlier version of ISTA/P.
This test plan was introduced with ISTA 3.49.10 and is found with the following path:
Service Function / 01 Drive / Transmission control / Coasting
