this procedure.

•

Any module with a “Faulty Control Module” fault must be addressed prior to starting the flash. The flash may
fail for the affected control module.

•

Diagnosis and repair of pre-existing conditions are not covered under this action.
All vehicles:
•

Once the GFF scan is complete, select “Test
plan” <arrow A>, then “Software version
management” <arrow B>, then “Adapting
software” <arrow C>, then select “Attach to the
test plan” <arrow D>.

Only for vehicles equipped with heads-up display
(DA 0082):
•

Select “SFD activation” and attach it to the test
plan.

•

Perform the test plan.

NOTE
If the SFD activation is not performed for the headsup display (DA 0082), the flash may fail, and error
code 8113 may occur.
•

Select option for “Activate”.

•

When prompted by the test plan, enter 0082 for
the diagnostic address.

•

Follow the on-screen prompts.

Continuation for all vehicles:
•

Select “Adapting software” <arrow A> from the
test plan list.

•

Select “Perform test” <arrow B>.

•

Select the correct option to “Update software
via action code”.

NOTE
If any errors occur, see Appendix A for information and possible solutions. If the information provided in
Appendix A does not resolve the concern, please create a TAC WEB ticket for further direction before
performing any more flash attempts.
CRITICAL REPAIR STEP

STOP!
THE FIRST SVM CODE MUST BE FULLY COMPLETED
PRIOR TO STARTING THE SECOND SVM CODE.
•

See page 28 for details regarding how to check if the flash completed successfully.

•

If the second SVM is performed before the first is fully complete and/or the SVMs are run out of order,
this can result in problems that require special repair measures.

•

The time associated with diagnosis and recovery of a vehicle due to SVMs being performed out of
order will not be covered under the campaign.

NOTE
Using Bluetooth or WiFi for this action is
PROHIBITED!
Damage caused to electronic components during
the SVM flash process is not covered.
•

Cycle the ignition switch off and back on prior
to starting the update.

•

Enter the corrective action code (SVM code) as
listed below.

SVM code

S4210F543
•

Select “Accept” <arrow> and follow the onscreen prompts.

NOTE
Do not unplug the sound generator.

91VH Page 26 of 46

NOTE
If the Windows Firewall popup appears, ALL
network options should be checked. Failure to do so
could cause the update to fail.

CRITICAL REPAIR STEP

STOP!
The initial update may take several minutes to start.
Multiple control modules are updated during this
procedure. Some modules will take a while to be
updated. DO NOT cancel the update procedure,
turn the ignition off, remove the battery charger, or
interrupt the update procedure in any way. Doing so
could cause irreparable damage to control units,
which is NOT covered under this action.
NOTE
In-vehicle messages and warnings stating the HV
battery state of charge is at 0% may occur during
this software update process. This is normal.

NOTE
If the progress bar for the first update stops briefly at 6% (it may also appear that the progress bar stops at 10%
briefly, then quickly goes to the end), there may be a firewall issue.
IMPORTANT
If the software update fails for any reason, ODIS feedback must be sent prior to further diagnosis. This ensures the
failure/error is reported. Failure to do so may result in non-payment of consequential requests for additional time or
parts.

•

Pay attention to the status report of the control
module updates.

•

Any module stating NOT OK will have to be
updated again.

•

It may take more than one attempt to update
every control module.

•

Do not end the diagnostic session

•

DO NOT proceed to the next SVM update
until SVM S4210F543 has 100% completed
successfully.

Proceed to Step 5 for performing a bus sleep.

Step 5 – Perform Bus Sleep Procedure
•

Carry out the following steps in the specified sequence to put the vehicle in a bus sleep.

•

Switch off the ignition.

•

Remove diagnosis interface from the vehicle diagnosis connection.

•

Remove battery charger from the 12V battery.

•

Close front and rear lid as well as all doors.

•

Lock vehicle.

•

Move vehicle key (remote control) at least 20 meters away from the vehicle.

•

Wait at least 15 minutes until the vehicle is in bus silence.

•

Then unlock vehicle again.

•

Connect and switch on battery charger.

•

Insert diagnosis interface on vehicle diagnosis connection.

•

Switch on the ignition.

•

Place a vehicle key (remote control) in the cup holder area on the reader coil.

Proceed to Step 6 for performing ICAS.1 factory reset

91VH Page 29 of 46
