DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL UNIT (DSC) ABORTED WHEN PROGRAMMING VEHICLE

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

SUBJECT

Dynamic Stability Control Unit (DSC) Aborted when Programming Vehicle 

SITUATION

If termination of vehicle programming occurs due to:

1. Undervoltage (when the vehicle is connected to an approved battery charger/power supply)
2. Lost connection to the server
3. Termination by the control module
4. Termination by ISTA/P
5. ICOM connector removed/falls out

Then the DSC module may no longer communicate when connected to ISTA/D or ISTA/P. As a result, the DSC module cannot be reprogrammed.

CAUSE

DSC software

CORRECTION

Perform the DSC module reset:

1. Disconnect the DSC control module from the power supply (remove the DSC module connector).
2. Disconnect the battery charger and battery.
3. Wait at least 5 minutes.
4. Reconnect the DSC control module.
5. Connect the battery and charger.

It should now be possible to diagnose the DSC control module again. A new programming session can now be performed.

In some cases, this will not be successful and a replacement DSC module is required.
