Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
CIP Functions - If No (MOST-Bus Vehicles)
After selecting "No" CIP evaluates the installed control modules to determine if any updates are required.
Once the evaluation is completed and CIP determines that there are updates available a "Status report" is generated.
The status report identifies the control modules for which an update is available and also indicates if the module will need to be reprogrammed or replaced.
Information is also provided indicating the current programmed part number and also what the number should be after an update is performed.
If "Cancel update" is selected or if CIP determines that there are no updates needed or available for the vehicle then the "Control module selection" screen is displayed.
