Control Module Selection-Programming-Special Measures

IMPORTANT: The "Special Measures" function is only to be used in the event that a control module(s) can not be programmed during the "Update Software" process that is executed as a result of a developed "Measures plan"/"Status report" or specific instructions are given in a Service Information Bulletin which require the use of special measures to update a module.

In the event that a control module(s) can not be programmed successfully the information will appear next to the specific module(s) in the final report, which is generated upon completion of an update or "Measures plan".
