Supersession Statement

This PI was superseded to update Condition/Concern and Model Years. Please discard PIP5373A.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

CONDITION/CONCERN

Program ECM/TCM Error E4491/E4423.

The ECM/TCM may seem to be locked up.

During this step of programming an attempt is being made to execute the new 5 byte seed and key logic for proper authorization to unlock the box. However the DLL is not communicating with the TIS server properly resulting in a General DLL error. Utility File continues to the next step but the command is rejected because the ECU is still locked

RECOMMENDATION/INSTRUCTIONS

Corrective action:

  1. Log out of Tis2Web
  2. Go into c:\users\<uid>\sps\ and delete the spsnativelibs jar folder
  3. Then go into the Control Panel (Control Panel >>> Programs and Features >>> Add/Remove Programs)

    Then UNINSTALL the entry called Tis2Web IVCS5B COM Proxy

  4. Restart the PC - make sure user has Administrator Rights
  5. Log into tis2web and launch SPS. The IVCS5b com proxy should reinstall
