Technical Service Bulletin
Not applicable.

Production Solution
The optimized software for the affected control units was implemented in production in model year 2023.

Service
Applies to vehicle with high-voltage components;
• To prevent the high-voltage battery from charging during the software update, the high-voltage
charging cable on vehicles with high-voltage components must be unplugged BEFORE the SVM
code is entered.
• Please note that charging the high-voltage battery during a software update can cause damage to the
high-voltage components.

If active fault messages about driver assist systems are shown in the instrument cluster, this TPI may
not solve the problem. If the flashing procedure is started despite active fault messages, the flash
routine will be aborted, and it may be necessary to replace control units as a result. Please attempt to
resolve those cluster messages by clearing vehicle DTCs and cycling the ignition before starting this
procedure.

Always use DoIP when flashing a control module via ODIS in supported vehicles.
To Activate DoIP, select Administration >> General >> GFF Process >> DoIP communication >> Only allow DoIP
communication.
This setting will automatically reset when the diagnostic session is ended.
You can tell if DoIP is active by observing a red LED on the VAS 6154(A).
1. Follow all instructions in TSB 2011732: 00 Software Version Management (SVM), operating instructions.
The update may take, depending on the vehicle equipment and prior software level, between 15 and 100
minutes (depending on vehicle equipment).
2. Update the vehicle using the SVM action code as listed in the table below, if necessary:

Technical Service Bulletin
On the screen with the message “Should the entered SVM code be accepted, or the vehicle connection
be changed”, make sure that DoIP is selected. If DoIP is not selected, you can change the vehicle
access protocol by selecting “-3- Change vehicle access (CAN, DoIP, CANFD). Not selecting DoIP may
lead to extremely long flash times that may not be fully reimbursed by warranty.

Step 3: Bus sleep cycle
• Exit the flash context in ODIS.
• Turn off the ignition.
• Remove the charger as well as the diagnostics dongle from the vehicle.
• Close the hood, trunk, and all doors.
• Wait approximately 6 minutes, until the vehicle has gone to “sleep”.
Troubleshooting steps
In rare cases, the following DTCs may be entered in the driver assist systems control unit -J1121- (diagnostic
address 00A5) after the software update:
• DTC B200FF3: Internal malfunction (sym. 221193)
• DTC B170AF1: Calibration step 2 not carried out (sym. 2117696)
If either DTC is stored, please perform the ODIS test plan that is calculated for DTC B170AF1.
Please inform the customer that some driver assist settings may revert to their default value after the update is
performed.
