![background image](/audi/a8l_quattro_sedan/w12-6.0l_(bsb)/Page-7755002.png)
-
VAS 5051B Minimum Base CD Version 12.00.
-
VAS 5051B/5052 Minimum Base CD Version 12 with Brand CD 12.61 installed.
-
VAS Base Software Patch CD (Audi Technical Literature item number 42BaseSoftwarePatch) is installed the VAS 5051 / 5052. This patch is
already in Base 12.0.
-
VAS 5051X is plugged into a 110V AC power supply at all times.
-
Connect 5051B and 5052 to the local network.
-
For A4s after VIN 8E_5A400000 (B7 Platform), always use the 6017B K Line Adapter to ensure communication to all modules.
-
If the wireless VAS 5054A transmitter head is used in conjunction with a VAS 5052A or VAS 5051B tester, the transmitter head and the tester
must be connected with a USB cable.
-
Ensure the Windows power savings are set correctly (disabled) for VAS testers operating with an open Windows interface where users have
access to all regular PC operating system functions (implemented by running the Base V14.00.00 Recovery DVD).
NOTE:
-
If the Windows screensaver activates during a control module software update and the hard drive shuts down as a result of the power
settings, a control module failure may result. Refer to Service Circular ATE- 08-23 for more information.
-
Do not use a 6017 or 6017A while flashing. Doing so may result in complete control module failure.
4. Check to see that the following vehicle requirements are met:
-
Battery must have a minimum no-load charge of 12.5V.
Connect vehicle to a powered Audi-approved battery charger. Do not use a trickle charger or battery maintainer.
-
Turn off the radio and all other accessories, and when necessary, switch running lights off by applying the emergency brake or through the
MMI option menu.
-
Turn off any appliances with high electromagnetic radiation (such as mobile phones).
-
If communication with a module cannot be properly established, appropriate repairs must be made before attempting SVM. If the tester cannot
communicate with a module, the tester cannot flash software onto module.
5. In the VAS Tester, enter into GFF program. Address or record all DTCs related to a customer concern before continuing. Sporadic communication
DTCs will be created during the flash procedure and must be erased with all other sporadic DTCs by GFF after exiting the flash test plan.
6. Enter the SVM update into the User Test Plan by selecting the Audi Flashing option at the main tester screen.
Tip: If you have not installed the Base 15 CD update, select the following inside GFF: Go to >> Function/Component Selection >> Problem
Related Hardware and Software Update >> Direct Input: SVM code for problem related update.
7. Follow the SVM update procedure and enter the SVM Action Code found in the Conditional TSB when prompted.
8. Enter your GeKo ID when requested and data will be transmitted to the SVM server, which will respond with instructions to continue. The
procedure may include one, or any combination of the following, for one or multiple control modules as specified in the TSB/RVU:
-
Check a control module.
This will occur when SVM does not recognize the control module as valid for the vehicle. If there is no customer concern and no DTC
regarding this control module, report the issue to the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) with the required information specified in the
Additional Information section below. Always report MMI issues to the TAC before attempting a repair.
-
Update a control module (flash).
-
Code a control module.
9. Always continue until the following text is displayed: Vehicle conversion/update has been successfully performed. The changes have been stored
in the system. Thank you.
If the update programming aborts for any reason before full completion, ensure that VAS Base Software Patch CD (Audi Technical Literature item
number W42BaseSoftwarePatch) is installed in the VAS 5051/5052, and restart the SVM flash function test from the test plan again. If a
Technical Assistance Center contact is necessary, attach the diagnostic log to the ticket.
Tip: The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A warranty claim may not be
reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim or action is carried out that is not explicitly stated in the TSB/RVU.
10. Verify that all steps or special procedures mentioned in the TSB/RVU have been carried out. Then finish the test plan and exit GFF via the Go to
button. Answer the Warranty questions accordingly and print out or save the diagnostic log when prompted.
Tip: During the flash procedure, an estimated time will be shown. This value is not used for actual SRT calculation.
