Technical Service Bulletin
2. If both DTCs are present, replace the information electronics control module 1, J794, following the instructions
in the Elsa repair manual.
Tip: Use the VIN/FI search in ETKA to ensure that the correct part number is ordered. ETKA updates the
part number suggestion for the information electronics control module 1 based on software updates that have
already been performed on the vehicle.
3. Using ODIS, perform the Guided Fault Finding Replacement test plan for the information electronics control
module 1, J794 (address word 5F).
4. After all ODIS actions are completed, perform a quick verification check of all MMI functions.
Tip: If the E380-MMI control panel displays flashing LED lights on any of the control panel buttons during
this repair, contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC). This behavior can be due to mismatched software
between some of the components of the MMI system (for example: the main unit is at K0814 and the control
panel is at K0715) or it can be due to an incorrectly-configured MMI main unit (incorrect parameter data,
coding, or adaptations).
