REVISION HISTORY
revision [bate [rupose
2 Revised header (Updated control units)
Revised Condition (Added DTC list)
Revised Service (updated SW number, and SVM Code)
05/12/2025 | Initial publication
Customer states:
Various warning lamps for different vehicle systems appear after opening and starting the vehicle or while driving.
For example:
+ Vehicle lights: fault.
+ Emergency call function: fault.
+ Start/stop system: fault.
+ Stabilization control (ESC): fault.
+ etc.
are displayed in the driver information system.
Various warning lamps are active, and the side windows may lower automatically.
Workshop findings:
+ Various DTC entries on different bus systems are logged (intermittent) in diagnosis address 0019 due to a
single occurrence of the event memory entry.
AND
+ Intermittent faults in CAN and FlexRay communication are logged in some control units and the diagnostic
interface. All symptoms and DTC entries indicate a temporary failure of the gateway J533. The DTC entries
can vary.
As the ODIS DTC entries, and warning messages can vary in suspected cases, no fault codes can be specified.
When classifying the issue, the important factor is the identical time stamp in the standard ambient conditions of the
respective event memory entry in DA0019. Most of these are communication, single-wire and signal faults (e.g.
implausible signal; CAN single wire mode; no communication or function limitation due to missing message).
The following DTCs may be stored in the event memory of the data bus diagnostic interface J533 (address word
0019):
+ U12FB00: Instrument cluster data bus 1-wire mode

This TSB replaces TSB 2075405: 90 Reporting Obligation pre repair - Various Warning Messages w/ Faults stored
for CAN bus Communication.

Software update to SW 0052 for the diagnostic interface control unit (DA0019).
Applies to vehicles with high-voltage components:
To prevent the high-voltage battery from charging during the software update, the high-voltage charging cable on
vehicles with high-voltage components must be unplugged BEFORE the SVM code is entered.

Please note that charging the high-voltage battery during a software update can cause damage to the high-voltage
components.
The software for the diagnostic interface must be updated on this vehicle. Please observe the information
and instructions under “Customer information” regarding this.

Follow all instructions in TSB 2011732: 00 Software Version Management (SVM), operating instructions.

Update the Data Bus On Board Diagnostic interface, J533 (0019) using the SVM action code as listed below if
necessary:

Please update the data bus diagnostic interface J533 (diagnostic address 0019) via SVM. To enter the SVM code,
use “Flash” mode on the ODIS tester.

Please use the function Authorized Multiple Code Entry. The new test program for software updates is included in
ODIS software (available as of 16.04.2025).

Note: The vehicle uses acoustic signals and flashing lights to indicate when user input is required during and at the
end of the test program.

Use the function “SVM — Authorized Multiple Code Entry’ in “Flash” mode.

CAUTION: the following SVM code must be input exactly as written below (incl. commas and without spaces;
copying and pasting is recommended):
ZGDOIP,19A027,19B027

Follow the instructions on the ODIS tester.
After the update has been completed, it is absolutely necessary to unplug the diagnostic connector and the charger
from the vehicle.

Now start the engine and let it run for a minute, then lock the vehicle and wait for five minutes.

Once you have done this, you can finish the diagnostic procedure via ODIS so that the event memory entries
created during the flashing procedure can be deleted.

Additional Information
The control unit software must be updated on this vehicle, or the software must be updated on several control units
in this vehicle to ensure they function correctly in conjunction with the other control units in the vehicle. Inform the
customer about the software update and ask them whether the software has been modified, or “tuned” (e.g. chip
tuning or retrofitting involving modifications to a third party). Explain to the customer that updating software renders
the modification(s) ineffective. In certain circumstances, the control unit may even be damaged by third party
software update(s). Please inform the customer that this software update may neutralize previous modification(s) to
the vehicle’s software performed by either the customer or other third parties.
Damage to the control unit(s) resulting from chip tuning is not covered under warranty. Please refer the customer to
the Warranty and Maintenance booklet to learn more about how modification(s) can impact warranty coverage.
Explain to the customer that if they “tuned” their vehicle, they will be responsible for any damage caused by the
software update or for damage that occurs as the result of not having the update performed. If the customer
declines the software update, please inform them that this could lead to issues or restrictions with the use of the
vehicle or individual components. Make a note to this effect on the order before it is signed by the customer. Include
this information in the customer file.
