INTRODUCTION: Provisioning is the process by which the DCM receives the subscription request and activates the related DCM features requested as outlined in the specific subscription contract. If provisioning is not successful then the DCM may remain in an inactive state and the requested services may not be activated for the customer. Field investigation has found that this may be a result of three possible conditions. • • • The DCM may be off the network due to vehicle storage or other network factors. The DCM may be lacking power or ground due to some body side electrical concern. The DCM may have an internal failure. The following procedures are not only designed to repair the vehicle but also to gather as much information as possible about the actual failure that each vehicle has experienced. Please follow each step and collect all data as requested. NOTE: Do not release the vehicle back to the customer until provisioning has been confirmed as completed and services are active. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) For the vehicles listed ONLY: DO NOT attempt to install the campaign WQZ-61 programming (where applicable) prior to completing this procedure. 2) If the inspection results in DCM replacement, all DCMs supplied as repair parts already include the WQZ-61 software update. a.
