Diagnostic Aids
- If programming of the control module is being performed at the direction of a bulletin or PI, follow the instructions provided in that document.
- During audio system programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations dependent upon vehicle equipment. Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during the following procedure to ensure the correct calibrations are selected.
- Dependant upon vehicle equipment, the current software level of the module or the release of updates, USB programming may not be required when replacing/reprogramming the control module. If USB files for the application are not available via SPS, or have not been received in another manner of distribution, the USB update process will not need to be performed.
- All data will be erased from the USB device BEFORE the calibration is downloaded onto the device. To ensure important information is NOT erased, always verify that NO information is stored on the device BEFORE beginning the calibration download. If required, transfer important files to another storage device BEFORE beginning the calibration download.
- The length of time for the USB programming to complete will vary depending on the number and size of the files in the update.
- The USB programming will not allow the installation of the same software. If the same software is detected on the USB stick, Radio will display "Invalid Update" message.
- Make sure USB stick is removed after update is complete. If the USB stick is left connected an "Invalid Update" message will be displayed when the radio is powered on.
- Use a USB 2.0 Flash Drive with 4GB - 8GB memory (not to exceed 8GB). Using a USB 3.0 Flash Drive has been known to cause programming issues. A USB 2.0 will have a black 4 pin connector vs. a USB 3.0 which will have a 5 - 6 pin blue connector.
