Service Procedure
1. Using the latest version of the FDRS scan tool, download and run the "Self-Test" application and select "Run ALL
CMDTCs". Observe the status of the IPMA and check for other modules setting a loss of communication DTC
against the IPMA. Is an IPMA communication concern currently present?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 2.
(2). No - proceed to Step 7.
2. Using FDRS, download and run the "IPMA - Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Recovery" application.
3. Using FDRS, download and run the "Trusted Real-Time Operation Network (TRON) Module Authentication"
application and select "TRON Diagnosis and Repair".

4. Using FDRS, download and run the "IPMA - Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Alignment" application.
5. For vehicles equipped with a 360 degree camera, perform the "360 Degree View Camera Alignment" procedure in
WSM, Section 413-13.
6. Using FDRS, clear all DTCs and confirm that all warning messages are cleared from the IPC. Has IPMA
communication been restored?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 7.
(2). No - to diagnose a communication concern, refer to WSM, Section 418-00A > Diagnosis and Testing. Once
IPMA communication has been restored, continue to Step 7.
7. Connect a battery charger such as Rotunda GRX-3590 or DCA-8000 to the 12-volt battery.
NOTE: To prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle, make sure the negative cable of the
charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12-volt battery negative terminal. Do not have
the vehicle plugged into high voltage battery charger during programming. This can cause incorrect module
programming. Make sure only the 12-volt battery charger is installed.
8. Using FDRS, reprogram the IPMA.
9. Observe all messages displayed in the IPC. Is a "Resume Control" message displayed?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 10.
(2). No - proceed to Step 11.
10. Turn the ignition off, close all doors, lock the vehicle, and wait 2 minutes.
11. Using FDRS, clear all DTCs.
