Dec. 12, 2007
Vehicle Information
Condition
^ When the ignition is turned on, a cracking or popping noise is heard through the BOSE sound system.
^ DTC 01042 (control module not coded) and/or DTC 002762 (system reset) must be stored in the amplifier Addressword 47 Sound system.
^ Only the BOSE (PR-Nr. 8RY) sound system is affected by this condition.
Technical Background
The BOSE amplifier loses its coding.
Production Solution
New software in the BOSE amplifier control module (J525) resolved the problem.
Service
1. Coupe: Recode addressword 47 Sound system through Guided Fault Finding by running the function test plan for the DTCs or selecting the following:
GFF >> Go to >> Function / Component Selection >> Body (Rep.Gr. 01; 27; 50-97) >> Electrical equipment (Rep.Gr. 01; 27; 90-97) >> 01 On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems >> 47 Sound system Bose | J525 >> 47 Control module coding (RG.91)
2. Roadster: Recode addressword 47 Sound system. Use code 236126.
3. After recoding, check the software part number and software level in the BOSE amplifier control module (J525).
4. Prior to beginning the SVM process, insert a USB memory stick into the VAS 505X tester to capture the diagnostic log electronically.
5. Update the BOSE amplifier control module (J525) using SVM action code as listed in the table below if necessary. The SVM code is 8J47A001.
