SERVICE:
* Text in #1, #2 and #5 is changed or updated.
*#1. If SWDL fails and the HLCM is in “Not responding”, it is normal. HLCM is in silent mode and
therefore is “Not responding”.
A second SWDL attempt can be performed without any action.
#2. If SWDL fails due to Silent mode (picture VIDA1_EX90) follow this:
Check if the VIUP/D is in Programming or Not responding.
•
Check VIUP (PGWM and PGWA) is in Default. If not, follow “Recover VIUP/D failed
SWDL” under point #3 below.
*• Check HVBM is in Default.
a. If it is not in Default, do a 12V reset with VIDA for more than 10 minutes.
*b. If it is in Programming, do a reload of HVBM.
•
Check HVB SOC is above 2%. If not, charge the HVB.
•
If all above is okay and SWDL still fails due to Silent mode, open the diagnostic sequence
“Disconnect main battery” and deactivate and activate HLCM converting and try again.
If issue still remains, contact RTS through a Support Needed vehicle report in TIE.
#3. If SWDL failed due to VIUP/D being partly installed (picture VIDA2_EX90) follow this:
Check if VIUP/D is in Programming or Not responding.
a. If VIUP/D is in Programming.
aa. Do a 12V reset with VIDA for 30 minutes.
ab. Reload VIUP/D.
b. If VIUP/D is not responding.
ba. Do a 12V reset with VIDA for 30 minutes. (try at least 3 times).

bc. If VIUP/D is still in not responding contact RTS through a Support Needed vehicle
report in TIE.
•
How to do a 12V hard reset if 12V reset with VIDA fails (step #2 & #3):

Car needs to be in status Available or higher => close and reopen driver door.
Pairing of keyfob fails.
If you get the following message in VIDA, “...potential issue between key and Wireless
Phone Charger...” (picture WPC), perform a TCAM reload, “Yes” to replace hardware.
Keyfob pairing may be lost after SW download.
Check keyfob pairing by removing the NFC card from the car, enter the car with the keyfob
and check if it’s possible to put car in D or R.
If the message “No Key found” appears - pairing is required via “Keyless vehicle key Appl”
SWDL.
#6. PDS upgrade yellow message – not complete!
After PDS is done with yellow message “..SW installed needs verification..”, (picture VIDA
Yellow message), perform following steps:
1. Click “OK” or “Cancel” on the error message.
2. Revoke the software.
3. Re-download the PDS.
Check keyfob pairing again.
#7. General VIDA warning messages, example “no response HUD” (picture HUD) after PDS
upgrade:
If the warning message appears after PDS installation, please perform a reset of vehicle under
Advanced Test Option in VIDA and check if the ECU is in Default, if not repeat this step 2 more
times.
If you still experience problems, contact RTS through a Support Needed vehicle report in TIE.
#8. If a vehicle readout is done and some nodes are Not Responding:
Perform reset 3 times.
If 3rd reset doesn’t set the ECUs to Default or Extended, then run VIDA “Service Function” “Disconnect Main Battery”.
If you still experience problems, contact RTS through a Support Needed vehicle report in TIE.
#9. Glove box cannot be opened:
Follow the method in VIDA IE ID: VCC-522725-2 “Emergency opening of glove box”.
