Production Solution
Vehicle no longer in production.

Service
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 the ODIS service diagnostic applications and starting control module update process,
confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment Service Information Circular # VVT-12-02. 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/X or 6160/X tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head
for a flash procedure, always connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Using a
diagnostic interface with a wireless connection (Bluetooth or WLAN Infrastructure) is prohibited. Failure to
do so may lead to errors during the flash procedure.
VAS tools must only be used with their power adapters plugged in. Under no circumstances should they
be used on battery power alone during the programming procedure.
Critical Warning: : The Midtronics battery charger must be connected to the vehicle battery for the
duration of the programming, to ensure the battery state of charge remains above 12.5 volts during the
update process. If the battery drops below 12.5 volts, the programming could fail which may result in
damage to the control module. Control modules damaged by inadequate voltage will not be covered
under the warranty policy. The technician should verify the vehicle voltage prior to starting the update
process, and should monitor the voltage for the duration of the update.
