Production Solution
Improved Engine/Motor Control Module -J623- software.
Service
Update-Programming Procedure:
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
NOTICE
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-2213. 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 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.
To Update-Programming using Software Version Management (SVM), review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin
Instance 2014603 “Software Version Management”.
The SVM process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A warranty
claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim or action is carried out that is not
explicitly stated in the Technical Bulletin.
