CONDITION
This RVU has been released to assure that all vehicles have the latest ECM self-diagnosis update installed.
There are no customer complaints associated with this software update.
This Required Vehicle Update (RVU) is in effect until December 30, 2014. After that date, this RVU will expire and no longer be in effect.
Vehicle must meet all of the following criteria:
- Procedure is valid only for vehicles that show the CM/24M6 code in the ElsaWeb Campaign/Action Information screen on the day of repair.
- Vehicle must be within the Federal Emissions Warranty.
- Procedure must be performed within the allotted time frame stated in this Technical Service Bulletin.
- Procedure must be performed on applicable vehicles in dealer inventory prior to sale.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
ECM software.
PRODUCTION SOLUTION
Optimized the ECM software.
SERVICE
The service solution consists in the update of the ECM SW.
- Check the ECM to ensure it has not been tuned.NOTE: Any Update Programming procedure (flash) may overwrite any tuned ECM or TCM programming. A tuned ECM or TCM is described as any ECM or TCM altered so as to perform outside the normal parameters and specifications approved by Audi of America, Inc.
Current Tuned ECM or TCM Requirements
If you encounter a vehicle with a tuned ECM or TCM, your dealership must do the following before performing any procedure that updates ECM or TCM programming:
- Notify the owner that their ECM or TCM was found to have been tuned.
- Notify the owner that any damage caused by the tuning of the ECM or TCM (including any adverse emissions consequences) will not be covered by Audi of America, Inc. warranties.
- Obtain the owner's written consent (see attached Control Module Tuning form) for any requested repair - under warranty or outside warranty - that requires flashing that will automatically overwrite the tuned program.
- Update the ECM.
- If the vehicle has a tuned ECM or TCM, ensure the Control Module Tuning form has been filled out by the owner.
- Check the software part number and software level in the Engine Control Module. If software level is at (or higher than) the level shown in New Software Version column of the table below, no update is necessary. See Warranty table.
- Prior to beginning the SVM process, insert a USB memory stick into the VAS 505X tester to capture the diagnostic log electronically. In case TAC support is required, attach the diagnostic log to the ticket. The TAC will need this log to assist you.
- For A4 (B7) always use the 6017B K-Line Adapter to ensure communication to all modules.
- Update the Engine Control Module using the SVM action code as listed in the table below.
NOTE: Do not use a 6017 or 6017A while flashing. Doing so may result in complete control module failure.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.
Tip: The electric cooling fan may be activated during the ECM updating procedure.
For further SVM update instructions and troubleshooting, please refer to the SVM Operating Manual; ElsaWeb TSB 2011732 .
