SERVICE:
* Text in #3, #7, #7a, #7b, #8, #8a and #8b is changed, updated or added.
*#1. If SWDL fails and the HLCM is in “Not responding”, it is normal. HLCM is in silent mode and
therefore not listening to diagnostic commands.
Continue with the next SWDL attempt without any action.
#2. If SWDL fails due to Silent mode (picture VIDA1) follow this:
- Check that VIUP (PGWM and PGWA) is in Default. If not, follow “Recover VIUP/D failed SWDL”
under point #3 below.
- Check that HVBM is in Default.
a. If it is not in Default, perform a 12V reset with VIDA for more than 10 minutes.
b. If it is in Programming, perform a reload of the HVBM.
- Check that 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 VIDA diagnostic sequence
under “Service Function” - “Disconnect Main Battery” and deactivate and activate HLCM
converting and try again.
If the issue still remains, contact TOS through a Nebula report.
#3. If SWDL failed due to the VIUP/D being partly installed (picture VIDA2) follow this:
Check if VIUP/D is in Programming or Not responding.
a. If VIUP/D is in Programming.
*aa. Perform a 12V reset with VIDA diagnostic sequence under “Service Function” “Disconnect Main Battery” for 30 minutes.
ab. Reload VIUP/D.
b. If VIUP/D is not responding.
*ba. Perform a 12V reset with VIDA diagnostic sequence under “Service Function” “Disconnect Main Battery”, 30 minutes. (try at least 3 times).
bb. If we get VIUP/D in Programming, do a reload.
bc. If VIUP/D is still in not responding, contact TOS through a Nebula report.
- How to do a 12V hard reset if 12V reset with VIDA fails (step #2 & #3):
Alt a:
a1. Disconnect the 12V battery.
a2. VIDA => Software installation => Advanced test => Reset
a3. Connect the 12V battery after more than 10 minutes.
Alt b:
b1. Disconnect the 12V battery.
b2. Access the VCU in the front passenger compartment and disconnect connector (see
picture VCU1p) on the VCU for more than 10 seconds.
b3. Connect the 12V battery after more than 10 minutes.
#4. If there is a VIDA message “Purchase Failed - StatusCode: 502 ServerCode: 10” (picture VIDA3).
Contact TOS through a Nebula report.

#5. Pairing of keyfob
a. Charge the keyfob on the WPC.
If not charging, follow TJ 37039.
b. Pairing of keyfob fails. (check TJ 37040)
Car needs to be in status Available or higher => close and reopen driver door.
c. Pairing of keyfob fails.
If you get message in VIDA, “...potential issue between key and Wireless Phone Charger...”
(picture WPC), perform a TCAM reload, “Yes” to replace hardware.
Then retry pairing.
d. Keyfob pairing may be lost after SW download.
Check keyfob pairing by removing the NFC card from the car, then enter the car with the
keyfob and check if it’s possible to put car in D or R.
If 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
messagep), perform the 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.
*a. General VIDA warning messages, example “no response HUD” (picture HUDp) after PDS
upgrade:
If the warning message appears after PDS installation, please perform a reset of the vehicle
under Advanced Test Option in VIDA and check if the ECU is in Default, if not repeat this step
2 more times.
If problems still exist, contact TOS through a Nebula report.
*b. General VIDA warning message, example “Critical failure” (Picture VIDA4)
*If the warning message appears in the beginning of PDS installation follow below:
*a. Check that High Voltage contactors are open. You’ll find this under VIDA > Components >
HVBM > Parameters > Contactor negative, status - HVBM and Contactor positive, status
- HVBM
*b. If contactors are closed, make sure that the car is not in usage mode “Convenience”.
If the car is in usage mode “Convenience”, make sure that no one is in the car. (When
someone is in the car we initiate “Convenience”)
*c. If contactors still are closed, wait 3 minutes and check again. If still closed, turn off
climate in CSD and wait 3 minutes.
*d. Try SWDL again
*e. If problems still exist, contact TOS through a Nebula report.
*#8. If vehicle readout is done and some nodes are Not Responding follow steps below:
*a. Generic method.
*Perform reset 3 times under VIDA => Software installation => Advanced test => Reset.
If 3rd reset doesn’t set the ECUs to Default or Extended, then run VIDA “Service Function” “Disconnect Main Battery”.
If problem still exist, contact TOS through a Nebula report.
*b. NFCA Not Responding:
*If NFCA is not responding, disconnect the driver door connector for 30 seconds and then
check under VIDA => Software installation => Advanced test if NFCA is in Default
