Measures Plan

A measures plan is generated by CIP to identify what if any control modules need to be updated in order to bring a vehicle up to the latest integration level or data status. The measures plan also identifies the part number of the old/installed programmed control module and also what the new part number will be after the update is performed.

By accepting the defined plan all modules that are listed will be updated "automatically".

IMPORTANT: Whenever a measures plan is defined it should always be printed out before proceeding in order to document the work performed, by attaching it to the repair order.
NOTE: An all inclusive status report or measures plan is only generated for vehicles equipped with a MOST-bus, to ensure compatibility. For all other vehicles a measures plan is generated only for the module selected to be updated (i.e. DME, TCU, EGS...) no evaluation of the other modules in the vehicle is made.
