table.
Vehicle requirements:
Note:
Battery MUST have a minimum no-load charge of 12.5 volts. (Failure to maintain voltage during update process may result in control module failure.)
Use INC-940 battery charger to maintain voltage during the procedure.
Workshops which have a networked VAS diagnostic tester can run an online update of control unit using SVM (software version management).
