Check Campaigns/Actions screen in Elsa on the day of repair to verify that a VIN qualifies for repair under this
action. Elsa is the only valid campaign inquiry & verification source.

Campaign status must show “open.”

If Elsa shows other open action(s), inform your customer so that the work can also be completed at
the same time the vehicle is in the workshop for this campaign.
Problem Description
The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board have determined
that Volkswagen vehicles equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder TDI engine do not comply with
applicable emissions regulations. The emissions control systems on the vehicles will not control
emissions under off-cycle conditions as effectively as during the federal test procedure. The
extent of the emissions increase under off-cycle conditions depends upon how the vehicles are
driven.
Corrective Action
Install updated emissions control system software, install a TDI Emissions Modification – Proof
of Partial Completion Label and install a Supplemental Vehicle Emissions Control Information
Label.
If the vehicle has been modified by the customer prior to receiving the emissions modification
in a manner that may yield a non-compliant emissions system (for example, removal of a
catalyst, installation of parts that impact emissions or emissions- related parts, or modifications
to the ECU or computer software of the vehicle), Volkswagen may not be able to perform the
emissions modification until the customer corrects such modification.
Code Visibility
On or about January 12, 2017, this campaign code showed open on affected vehicles in Elsa.
On or about January 12, 2017, affected vehicles were identified with this campaign code in the
VIN Lookup tool at www.vw.com.

Section D – Software Update Procedure
NOTE
Prior to launching the VAS Diagnostic Tester and starting an update, ensure the following conditions are
met;
The battery charger is connected to the vehicle battery and remains connected for the duration of the
software update.
•
Battery voltage must remain above 12.5 volts for the duration of the software update. Failure to
do so may cause the update to fail, which could result in damage to the control module. Control
modules damaged by insufficient voltage will not be covered.
The screen saver and power saving settings are off.
•
Failure to do so may result in the tester entering power save mode during the software update,
which could result in damage to the control module.
The VAS Diagnostic Tester is plugged in using the supplied power adapters.
•
Under no circumstances should the tester be used on battery power alone during the software
update. Failure to do so may result in the tester powering off during the update, which could
result in damage to the control module.
If using the Bluetooth VAS 5054A transmitter head, it is connected to the tester with a USB cable.
NOTE
Using Bluetooth for this action is PROHIBITED!
Damage caused to electronic components (e.g. ECM, TCM, etc.) during the SVM flash process is not covered.
•
Performing a software update using a Bluetooth connection increases the risk of losing
connection during the update, which could result in damage to the control module.
It also greatly increases the time required to perform the update. Requests for additional time or
parts will be denied if the GFF log shows the update was performed using Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth function of the scan tool is physically switched off .
