SERVICE:

If SWDL fails, the VGM may end up in an unresponsive state. To identify if this has happened, the

most indicative symptom is that the car does not show up in VIDA. The car might be readable with

DICE, but it will not be possible to perform a reload or get out of this unresponsive state via the

DICE.

Prior to fault tracing, please check that there is no aftermarket dongle attached to the OBD

connector; this might interfere and cause issues with the vehicle’s diagnostic communication.

To get the car communicating through VIDA, please perform the following steps:

1. Press the OnCall/Connect/Talk Bubble button; if the call is connected, this might trigger the

VGM to respond in VIDA. If this doesn’t help, continue with the below step.

2. *Exchange the VGM with a donor VGM if there is one available (the HW part numbers do not

need to match); if the car shows up in VIDA, connect to the car. Without disconnecting the VIDA

connection, remove the donor VGM and replace it with the original VGM (it is important that this

step is executed within a few minutes).

3. If the car still shows up in VIDA, and diagnostic communication is possible, perform a reload of

the VGM. If successful, the VGM is now restored.

*If a donor VGM is not available, a new VGM will need to be ordered. If this is the case, please

repeat the above procedure, starting at step 2. If the procedure is executed successfully, the new

VGM can now be used as a donor VGM in future cases similar to the one described in this TJ.

If the VIDA connection is not established by the above method, please contact RTS.

Note:

TJ 31946 advises against exchanging components between cars for testing purposes. If unsure on

the procedures and methods described in the above steps, please contact RTS for assistance related

to this TJ; see under Vehicle Report.
