Condition
Customer states:
No customer concerns, it is found during PDI or any other diagnostic work (e.g. Safety Recall 68I2).
Workshop findings:
One or more of the following DTC(s) may be stored in the airbag control module, J234 (address word 0015):
• B130455
Left front seat belt tensioner control module not configured.
• B130555
Right Front Seat Belt Tensioner Control Module not configured.
• B159B00
Start-up not ended.
Technical Background
• When performing a configuration to the airbag control module, J234, the airbag control module may not
respond correctly. The configuration fails.
• After replacing a front seat belt (e.g. Safety Recall 68I2), the adaptation (basic setting, diagnostic output test)
of the seat belt control module fails.
• The Safety Recall 68I2 cannot be performed successfully via ODIS and fails.
Production Solution
Not Applicable
Service
1. If a configuration of the airbag control module fails (e.g. after replacing a front seat belt), perform an ignition
cycle. Interrogate the airbag control module fault memory again, and attempt to run the test plans again.
2. If they still fail, use the oldest possible hardware version of the diagnostic tester (e.g. VAS6150D) and start
diagnosis again.
3. If the configuration is still unsuccessful, an ODIS patch needs to be installed to ensure proper communication
with the airbag control module. This ODIS patch consists of two files which are available in ServiceNet (Figure
1):

Figure 1. Both of the ODIS patch files are located in ServiceNet.
4. If you are still in the diagnostic session, save the session.
5. Close ODIS Service.
6. Unzip both ODIS patches (password: odis).
7. Start the first patch “Patch_OS_11.0.MCD3D_ini_Loglevel_7”.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that you select patch “7”, NOT Patch “4”!
This patch is not a hotfix and is started via double-click.
Installing the patch “Patch_OS_11.0_MCD3D_ini_Loglevel_7” will significantly slow down ODIS Service.
8. Start ODIS Service.
(ODIS Service is now slower due to the patch. It may take up to 30 minutes.)
9. If you saved the diagnostic session, you can now continue with it.
If the diagnostic session was not saved, start Guided Fault Finding.
10. Run the test plans again.
11. Complete the diagnostic session.
12. Close ODIS Service.
13. Return ODIS Service to its original speed by installing the second patch
“Patch_OS_11.0_MCD3D_ini_Loglevel_4”.
Warranty
If consequential to the 68I2 campaign and GFF is required, email [email protected] for
authorization to add the extra GFF time units to the campaign claim line.
