CAUTION: New software can only be ordered after the control module has been installed in the car. VADIS reads off the new control module identity which is required to order the correct software.

Always check that the control module and control module box connectors do not have bent or damaged terminals or socket/sleeves. This may have been the cause of the fault.

- Remove the integrated relay/fusebox.







- Unscrew the screw holding the connector so that it is free of its threads. Check that the screw is free using your fingers
- Disconnect the connector. Use an open wrench and a support. See the illustration.

NOTE: Do not damage the terminal pins.







- Remove all relays and shunts bridged to the control module. Note the locations.
