4.10.3 Re-flash Errors
IMPORATANT
When reprogramming onboard, always make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged
and in good working condition. During reprogramming, the operation may fail if voltage
falls below the proper operation voltage. Sometimes a failed operation can be recovered,
but the failed reprogramming can also ruin the control module. We recommend
connecting an external battery maintainer to the vehicle to ensure steady voltage is
maintained throughout programming. The required voltage differs by vehicle
manufacturer. Consult vehicle manufacturer for correct voltage to be maintained.
Occasionally a flash update procedure may not complete properly. Common causes of
flash errors include poor cable connections between the tablet, VCMI, and vehicle, the
vehicle ignition being switched off before the flash procedure is complete, or low vehicle
battery voltage.
