Note 1:
Should the vehicle be affected at the same time by another repair in which the programming of control units is also required, programming may only be claimed once.
Note 2:
In the case where Progman requires the replacement of control modules or additional programming because certain control modules failed to program correctly, print out the Measures Plan and Status Report/Final Report as described in the Progman programming procedure (B09 05 01). Attach these reports to the RO in the vehicle file. This additional work should use Defect Code 10 42 30 59 00, along with a Labor Operation and Labor Allowance selected from the KSD.
