DO NOT diagnose or replace any components for the above fault(s) before performing the update
function as explained in this bulletin.
Technical Background
Current ECM software causing erroneous misfire faults.
Production Solution
Improved software implemented into production.
Service
Update-Programming Procedure:
Critical Warning: : The Midtronics battery charger must be connected to the vehicle battery for the
duration of the programming, to ensure the battery state of charge remains above 12.5 volts during the
update process. If the battery drops below 12.5 volts, the programming could fail which may result in
damage to the control module. Control modules damaged by inadequate voltage will not be covered
under the warranty policy. The technician should verify the vehicle voltage prior to starting the update
process, and should monitor the voltage for the duration of the update.
WARNING:
Radiator Fan(s) may cycle ON high speed during the Update Process! There is a risk that personal
injury may result if contact is made with spinning fan blades.
Keep hands and all objects away from Radiator Fan(s) during Update Process!
Note:
Prior to launching the ODIS service diagnostic applications and starting control module update process,
confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment Service Information Circular # VVT-12-02. Failure to do so may result in the tester entering power save
mode during data transfer, and subsequent control module failure.
When using a VAS 6150/X or 6160/X tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head
for a flash procedure, connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Failure to do so
may lead to errors during the flash procedure. VAS tools must only be used with their power adapters
plugged in. Under no circumstances should they be used on battery power alone during the programming
procedure.
