STOP!


If any of the modules being updated are offline, the communication issue must be addressed prior to
starting this procedure.



Any module with a “Faulty Control Module” fault that cannot be cleared, must be addressed prior to
starting the flash. The flash may fail for the affected control module.



Diagnosis and repair of pre-existing conditions are not covered under this action.
See Appendix A for the software change table.



Once the GFF scan is complete, select
“Special functions” , then “Adapting
software” , then select “Perform test”
.



Select the correct option to “Update software

CRITICAL REPAIR STEP

STOP!
The initial update may take several minutes to start.
Multiple control modules are updated during this
procedure. Some modules will take a while to be
updated. DO NOT cancel the update procedure,
turn the ignition off, remove the battery charger, or
interrupt the update procedure in any way. Doing so
could cause irreparable damage to control units,
which is NOT covered under this action.
NOTE
If the progress bar for the first update (Software Cluster Embedded 1) stops briefly at 6% (it may also appear that
the progress bar stops at 10% briefly, then quickly goes to the end), there may be a firewall issue.
NOTE
If error code ERP0215 occurs:
Cause:
On at least one control unit, the operating conditions for the measure are not fulfilled (for example, incorrect SW part
number/HW part number/hardware/software):
Possible Corrections:
Manually identify the affected control module(s), or start a new GFF session and repeat SVM US30.
Perform a bus sleep or reset the control module, then repeat SVM US30.
NOTE
If error code ERP0225E occurs:
Cause:
The measure cannot be carried out because of missing control unit data. Often not all necessary control units are
“identified” or “reachable”.
Possible Corrections:
Make sure all necessary control units are identified according to the software table. If necessary, manually identify
the module and repeat SVM US30.
If a module cannot be manually identified: switch off ignition > send diagnostic protocol online > disconnect
diagnostic interface from vehicle > restart ODIS > remove the fuse for the module that had the failure for 10 seconds
> reinstall the fuse > perform a bus sleep > start a NEW GFF session > identify the module > repeat SVM US30.
NOTE
If a message appears stating that the communication path cannot be changed to DoIP:
Send the diagnostic protocol online > cancel the test plan > turn the ignition OFF > disconnect the diagnostic head
from the vehicle AND the diagnostic tester for a few minutes > restart ODIS > reconnect diagnostic head to vehicle
and diagnostic tester > repeat SVM US30.



Pay attention to the status report of the control
module updates.



Any module stating NOT OK will have to be
updated again.



Selecting “Complete/Next” will begin another
attempt to update the control module.



It may take more than one attempt to update
every control module.

NOTE
If SVM US30 completed and the test plan states
control module address 060E has to be updated
again:


Cancel the test plan



Perform a bus sleep (see Step 4 for bus
sleep instructions).



Restart the flash using SVM US30.

NOTE
If SVM US30 is repeated for any reason, address
008C and 0006 will be updated again.
This is normal.
