Module Reprogramming

•

This function is used when it is necessary to reprogram a module with an updated
software calibration (e.g. PCM or TCM (Transmission Control Module)).

NOTE: As later software calibrations are usually released to resolve specific customer

concerns, module reprogramming should only be carried out when recommended
e.g. by a Service Information or by the Technical Hotline/Technical Service
Department.

•

Selecting “Module Reprogramming” from the main menu will call up a sub-list of all the
modules on the vehicle that can be reprogrammed with updated calibrations. The
module is not removed from the vehicle and the complete process is done through the
communications network via IDS. After selecting the module in question, follow the on-
screen prompts. IDS will check whether there is a later software calibration available for
the module concerned.

•

If no later calibration is available a screen with the latest level part number is displayed,
indicating that there is no further action necessary.

If a later calibration is available a screen will appear with the new part number, asking if
you want to reprogram e.g. the PCM. In addition, information on the concerns resolved
by the new calibration may be displayed.

If you do not want to reprogram the PCM, press NO, which will return you to the main
menu.

•

If you intend to reprogram the PCM, select YES which will present a series of screens
instructing you to prepare the vehicle and turn the ignition key off or on. As any DTCs
logged in the PCM will get lost during reprogramming, the user is presented with the
opportunity to run a KOEO self-test of the PCM before the reprogramming process
begins.
