Points to remember:

A "Measures plan" provides information on updates that are available for selected control modules.
Always print out a copy of the measures plan and final report and attach it to the repair order to document the work performed.
The SSS stores the last 16 report in memory for printout at a later date.
If the measures plan identifies any control modules that will need to be replaced exit CIP, replace the module, and then re-enter CIP and program the module.
After reprogramming a control unit, delete all fault code via diagnosis or CIP.
