TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
FRONT VIEW CAMERA REPLACEMENT AND
SOFTWARE UPGRADE INSTALLATION
This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software logic of the Front Camera (FR_CMR) system on
the vehicles listed below, which have had a new replacement Front View Camera installed without software
upgrade. New parts with a part number ending in “SW0” do not have the operating software upgrade installed.
If the S/W is not upgraded, units will exhibit a warning light ON with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related
to the Front Camera (FR_CMR). Follow the procedures outlined in this publication to recover and record the
prior variant coding value before replacement. For confirmation that the latest reflash has been applied to a
vehicle you are working on, verify the ROM ID using the table on page 4 of this bulletin.
