NOTE:Ensure that the most up-to-date software version is installed in WDS. General - WDS now includes a new routine for replacing or subsequently changing the configuration data. This new routine is used to perform the central module configuration.
- During the central module configuration, the required configuration parameters are transmitted from the GEM to the relevant module - WDS is only used to initiate and monitor the process.
- For safety reasons all of the configuration data which are saved in the GEM are also backed up in the instrument cluster. This means that if the GEM is replaced then the required configuration data can read out from the instrument cluster with the aid of WDS and transmitted to the new GEM.
- If the GEM and the instrument cluster are both replaced, or if it is not possible to read out the configuration data from the instrument cluster, then the vehicle-specific data will need to entered manually during programming of the GEM. This is done either by selecting the data from a selection list in WDS or by entering a code which can be obtained from the Technical Hotline.
- The GEM checks the configuration data for consistency and stores a trouble code in the event of a fault - WDS (DTC). In the event of a fault the function of the GEM may be restricted.

After replacement, use WDS to configure the GEM. | | |
