Update-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.

Radiator Fan(s) may cycle ON high speed during the Update Process! There is a risk that
personal injury may result if contact is made with spinning fan blades.
• Keep hands and objects away from Radiator Fan(s) during update process.

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 # VHW-22-13. 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 6154/X wireless
transmitter head for a flash procedure, connect a USB cable between the transmitter head
and the tester. 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.
