Update Programming, Fuel Door Will Not Open 

The complaint may also be the fuel door release switch is non-functional.

The following fault code may be stored in the Central Electronics Fault Memory:

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

DTC Description
00332 Activation for Tank Flap Implausible Signal
NOTE: DO NOT  diagnose or replace any components due to fuel door not operating before performing the update function as explained in the bulletin.

Tip: 

This software update is designed to re-program the ECM, Power Electronics Module, and/or Battery Management Control Module with new software. The re-programming itself should carry out the updates without technician intervention. Please ensure all control module software as applicable has been updated after the flash is completed.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

If within a few seconds the ignition is switched OFF, the fuel door release is activated, and then the ignition is switched ON again (up to 2 seconds after fuel door release activation, depending on CAN network status), the engine control module may lose its basic settings of the fuel door lock. The complaint may be that the fuel door release switch is non-functional. This condition will prevent the fuel door from being opened.

The engine control module must be re-programmed in order to correct this concern.

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Updated software introduced in production.

SERVICE

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 the VAS-PC and ODIS service diagnostic applications and starting control module update process, confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment - Service Information Circular # VVT-12-02. 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 6150/5051B 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.

VAS tools must only be used with their power adapters plugged in. Under no circumstances should they be used on battery power alone during the programming procedure.

Critical Warning:  The Midtronics Battery Charger must  be connected to the vehicle battery for the duration of the programming, to ensure the battery state of charge remains above 12.5 volts during the update process. If the battery drops below 12.5 volts, the programming could fail which may result in damage to the control module. Control modules damaged by inadequate voltage will not be covered under the warranty policy. The technician should verify the vehicle voltage prior to starting the update process, and should monitor the voltage for the duration of the update.

  • Update the Engine Control Module  (Address Word 01) using the SVM Unit code as listed in the table below:
    SOFTWARE VERSION MANAGEMENT

    Model Engine Code Old Software Part No. Old Software Version New Software Part No. New Software Version (or Higher) SVM Unit Code
    2013 Jetta Hybrid CNLA 04E 209 023 All 04E 906 023 6808 384C
    2014 Jetta Hybrid CNLA 04E 209 023 G All 04E 906 023 G 6807 384C

This SVM Unit Code also includes an update to the Power Electronics Control Module. If the control module software is already up to date, update programming will not be performed.

  • Update the Power Electronics Control Module  (Address Word 51) using the SVM Unit code as listed in the table below:
    SOFTWARE VERSION MANAGEMENT

    Model Engine Code Old Software Part No. Old Software Version New Software Part No. New Software Version (or Higher) SVM Unit Code

    5C0 907 080 D
    05C 907 080 E

This SVM Unit Code also includes an update to the Battery Management Control Module. If the control module software is already up to date, update programming will not be performed.

  • Update the Battery Management Control Module  (Address Word 8C) using the SVM Unit code as listed in the table below:
    SOFTWARE VERSION MANAGEMENT

    Model Engine Code Old Software Part No. Old Software Version New Software Part No. New Software Version (or Higher) SVM Unit Code
    Jetta Hybrid CNLA 5C6 915 182 B 0551 5C6 915 182 B 0601 384C

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: 

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 or action is carried out that is not explicitly stated in the Technical Bulletin.

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