IDS Process Adjustment for Service Action Q011

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Land Rover LR2 (LF) VIN: 8H000212 to 8H026159

CONDITION SUMMARY:

COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL ERROR REQUIRES REVISED PROCESS

Situation:

An IDS communications issue requires a change to the procedure outlined in Issue 1 of the Service Action Q011 for the LR 2 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software update.

Action:

Until a corrective patch can be issued, the PCM is to updated using the "Configure New Module" option. Service Action bulletin Q011 will be updated on GTR as soon as possible. Please note the Repair Procedure extract below from the revised bulletin:

REPAIR PROCEDURE

RECONFIGURE PCM SOFTWARE

CAUTION:
A Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply must be connected to the vehicle battery during diagnosis.

1. Connect the Midtronics PSC-550 power supply to the vehicle battery.

CAUTION:
This procedure requires IDS DVD106 with Patch file 2 loaded or later.

2. Connect IDS to the vehicle and begin a new diagnostic session by entering the correct VIN for the current vehicle.

3. Follow the IDS prompts to read the vehicle configuration.

4. When prompted 'Do you wish to read diagnostic trouble codes?', select 'NO' and then press 'tick' to continue.

5. When the 'Content Model' is displayed select 'Vehicle Configuration' tab.

6. Select from the menu 'Module Programming'.

NOTE:
As the result of an incompatible communications protocol, IDS is not able to utilize the "Configure Existing Modules" process to accomplish this software update. A future DVD107 Patch will correct this situation.

7. Select 'Configure NEW Modules' from the drop down menu.

8. Select 'Powertrain Control Module' from the menu and then press 'tick' to continue.

9. Follow all on-screen instructions to complete this task.

10. When the task is completed, exit the current session.

11. Disconnect IDS and the battery charger/power supply.
