Edition 68: January 13, 2014 Content The Elsa Newsletter Has a New Email Marketing Vendor ODIS GFF Feedback More Tips for Submitting ODIS Feedback Technical Bulletins Pending Service Solutions Tech Tips Campaigns Updates Suggestions The Elsa Newsletter Has a New Email Marketing Vendor The new year has arrived with a change to a new email marketing vendor for the newsletter. As a result, we needed to upload the current distribution list to a new system. We were careful to be sure that the existing distribution list remained unchanged. However, in the event that you received this newsletter in error after unsubscribing previously or no longer wish to receive it, simply click on the "unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the page. Your name will permanently be removed from the list. ODIS GFF Feedback Once again, we would like to thank all of you who have taken the time to submit ODIS diagnostic feedback. In the past few months, we have processed hundreds of feedbacks. Thanks to your feedback, the quality of the ODIS software is improving with each new release. Some of the top contributors for last month are: 1. Tom Mann 2. John Matikainen 3. Rick Barsby 4. Burnsville Volkswagen 5. David Knight 6. Donn Mihara 7. Kevin Howard 8. Brian Larson 9. Mike Wren More Tips for Submitting ODIS Feedback The best way to make sure that a GFF issue will be fixed is to include as much information in the feedback as possible. Please make sure that each feedback is sent with: 1. Screen shots. Capturing errors, menu problems or translation issues are probably the best way to illustrate an ODIS problem. Multiple images can be added, and multiple feedbacks can be sent during a diagnostic session. 2. A clear description of each issue. Even with screen prints and log information, it may not always be clear to those reviewing feedback what a problem is. Text can be added by typing in the spaces above, below or between added screen shots. 3. Up to date tester software. There are new fixes included with each software update. It is very important to make sure that your tester is running with the latest version of ODIS. Currently, that version is Application v2.0.2 - Content v1926.31810, which can also be viewed on the VW ServiceNet home page. If you have any questions or comments about submitting ODIS feedback, please email us at [email protected]. We will respond to all inquiries.

If the engine is cranked during this check, lowering the system voltage, the ECM may receive an incorrect reading and set incorrect glow plug faults. Production Solution: Implemented into production.

This thermal dilution may cause abrasions on the fuse blade coating, which increases resistance. If this happens it may result in localized overheating. This, in turn, can disrupt the electrical current flow to the vehicle’s exterior lights and cause a partial loss (but not a complete failure) of the vehicle’s exterior lighting. A warning lamp and message in the instrument cluster will immediately alert the driver. Failing illumination may lead to reduced visibility of the vehicle and may lead to a crash.
