DISCUSSION:
NOTE:
Many of the reasons a flash reprogramming procedure may not complete are documented in this service bulletin.
Occasionally a flash update procedure may not complete properly and/or the diagnostic equipment may lock up or become disconnected during the
procedure. Flash Reprogramming is a "CRITICAL PROCESS"; an error may result in a no-start/failed control module. Most modules, encountering an
interruption or failure while reprogramming, are recoverable. Replacing a module that is recoverable is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
This service bulletin covers items that may cause this condition, a process to restart the flash procedure, and miscellaneous information that will help
prevent unnecessary replacement of control modules.
GENERAL:
Flash Reprogramming is only authorized when programming a generic module or by a specific SERVICE ACTION (Service Bulletin/Recall/Rapid
Response Transmittal/Advance Service Information).
CAUTION:
