ZCS Stored Location in Vehicle: Notes

The ZCS is stored in the vehicle to simplify the coding procedures when a module needs to be recoded or a replacement module needs to be coded. The ZCS information is stored in the cluster and the EWS.

The procedure to code control modules that utilize the ZCS information can be performed via the DISplus/GT1 or SSS using Progman with CIP 15.0 or higher and accessing the "Codierung ZCS/FA" function. Always reference service bulletins for information regarding the latest coding version and any possible software errors.

When coding a ZCS codable control module the coding program in CIP automatically searches the stored location, based on the VIN, and codes the selected module according to the information provided in the ZCS code.

The ZCS information is stored in two locations, referred to as redundant data storage, this insures that the information is always available in the event the primary device storing the data fails.

NOTE: If the module primarily storing the ZCS code fails, the coding software will automatically use the information stored in the "back up" module.
