SUBJECT

RAD2 Programming with ISTA/P - No MOST Communication 

SITUATION

When programming a RAD2-equipped vehicle produced from 03/10 on (and earlier produced vehicles with a RAD2 replacement part manufactured from 03/10) with ISTA/P 2.37.1 or later, a message is displayed: "During control module determination, it was ascertained that control modules connected to the MOST ring are not responding", followed by a second message that begins "The gateway GW is likely to be defective......" The user is then asked to perform a gateway repair. After following the on-screen instructions, the measures plan directs to replace all MOST control modules.

CAUSE

The RAD2 GW locks up during identification with ISTA/P 2.37.1 or later, causing no communication on the MOST ring.

PROCEDURE

To avoid the situation above, perform the following steps:

Depending on the situation, follow 1) or 2) below:

  1. The measures plan shows that MOST modules have to be programmed (see attachment, page 2): 
    • Hook up the ICOM-B and wait until you have 2 green lights on ICOM-B. Then accept the measures plan. Programming will go through.
  2. The measures plan shows no MOST modules: 
    • Accept the measures plan and programming will go through (do not connect the ICOM-B).
