Measures Plan

A measures plan is generated by CIP to identify what if any control modules need to be updated in order to bring a vehicle up to the latest integration level or data status. The measures plan also identifies the part number of the old/installed programmed control module and also what the new part number will be after the update is performed.

Scheme 151

Scheme 151: Measures Plan

By accepting the defined plan all modules that are listed will be updated "automatically".

IMPORTANTWhenever a measures plan is defined it should always be printed out before proceeding in order to document the work performed, by attaching it to the repair order.

Note. An all inclusive status report or measures plan is only generated for vehicles equipped with a MOST-bus, to ensure compatibility. For all other vehicles a measures plan is generated only for the module selected to be updated (i.e. DME, TCU, EGS...) no evaluation of the other modules in the vehicle is made.

Scheme 152

Scheme 152: Initial CIP Screen

From the initial CIP screen select the model for which a coding or programming session is to be performed.

Scheme 153

Scheme 153: CIP Main Selection Screen

Selection of CIP functions/options

Termin. CIP - End the CIP program and return to Progman home screen

Load SW - Load software function to be selected if

  1. Control module has been replaced
  2. Retrofit process is to be carried out
  3. Vehicle software is to be updated
  4. Coding/programming of one or more module(s) is to be performed

CKM - Vehicle and Key Memory/Individualization allows various driver selectable features (such as drive way locking, seat memory, central locking/unlocking, daytime running lights etc.) to be coded to the vehicle or individual keys.

Management - Provides the ability to

  1. display the current version of CIP installed
  2. print previously performed Service Measure Reports
  3. run a test on the software currently installed on system (SSS)

Vehicle - Allows access to

  1. Vehicle Order
  2. Initialization
  3. Service Functions
  4. Complete vehicle coding

Scheme 154

Scheme 154: Control Module Replacement Yes/No

At this screen information is needed to determine which path is to be followed.

Answer "Yes" if

  1. A previously installed control module has been replaced.

Answer "No" if

  1. No control module(s) has been replaced but an update on one or more modules needs to be performed.
  2. A retrofit needs to be performed on the vehicle (such as installation of CD player, ULF, phone cradle installation, activation of bluetooth, etc...).
  3. A control module for a new system/accessory is installed as part of a retrofit installation.

Scheme 155

Scheme 155: CIP Functions - If No (Non MOST-Bus Vehicles with VO)

Select the module to be reprogrammed

Or

Select "Retrofits" if an accessory function/feature is to be added or deleted.

Example: DME/DDE was selected on previous screen.

Programming is selected if

  1. Checking for availability of updated software for selected control module.
  2. It is known that updated software is available for the selected control module. Replacement is selected if a module was replaced.

EWS is selected if

  1. Alignment of EWS & DME must be performed

Scheme 156

Scheme 156

Example: Programming was selected on previous Screen.

Upon selecting "Update software" a measures plan will be generated that is specific to the module selected.

Scheme 157

Scheme 157

A measures plan for the selected system/module is displayed.

A measures plan identifies the programmed part number for the control module(s) installed

  1. "Old part no. progr. ctrl. mod." - indicates p/n for software currently installed.
  2. "New part no. progr. ctrl. mod." - indicates the p/n if the module is updated, by accepting the displayed measures plan the module will be updated to the new number and software.

Note. The "update" does not need to be performed if the two part numbers are the same.

Scheme 158

Scheme 158

On vehicles without a MOST-Bus, a "Measures plan" provides information on updates that are available for the selected control module. By selecting accept, only the module listed in the measures plan will be updated.

Note. Prior to selecting accept, printout a copy of the measures plan and attach it to the repair order to document the work performed.

IMPORTANTIf the measures plan identifies any control modules that will need to be replaced exit CIP.
