Update-Programming Procedure

Tip:

To Update-Programming using SVM, review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin Instance 2014603 "Software Version Management".

The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A warranty claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim.

NOTE: Prior to launching VAS-PC application and starting control module update process, confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment - Service Information Document # VSE-08-18. 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 5051B or VAS 5052A tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head for a flash procedure, please connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Failure to do so may lead to errors during the flash procedure.

Update the Transmission Control Module using the SVM Action code as listed in the table below:

TCM Old Part No.	Old Software Version	TCM New Part No.	New Software version	Action code
09G927750GG	1043,1106,1115,1174	09G927750GG	1702	32E1
09G927750KM	1298,1394	09G927750KM	1703	32E1
09G927750KN	1394,1554,1590	09G927750KN	1704	32E1

The procedure can be found in GFF under Functions/Component Selection, Software Version Management, Adapting Software.

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!

Tip:

Ensure attached ECM/TCM Tuning Form has been completed and signed by customer as required in SVM Technical Bulletin Instance 2014603 .
