GENERAL PROCEDURES

Module Configuration
1. NOTE:Ensure that the most up-to-date
software version is installed in WDS.
General
• WDS now includes a new routine for
replacing or subsequently changing the
configuration data. This new routine is used
to perform the central module configuration.
• During the central module configuration, the
required configuration parameters are
transmitted from the GEM to the relevant
module - WDS is only used to initiate and
monitor the process.
• For safety reasons all of the configuration
data which are saved in the GEM are also
backed up in the instrument cluster. This

means that if the GEM is replaced then the
required configuration data can read out from
the instrument cluster with the aid of WDS
and transmitted to the new GEM.
• If the GEM and the instrument cluster are
both replaced, or if it is not possible to read
out the configuration data from the instrument
cluster, then the vehicle-specific data will
need to entered manually during
programming of the GEM. This is done either
by selecting the data from a selection list in
WDS or by entering a code which can be
obtained from the Technical Hotline.
• The GEM checks the configuration data for
consistency and stores a trouble code in the
event of a fault - WDS (DTC). In the event of
a fault the function of the GEM may be
restricted.
2. After replacement, use WDS to configure the
GEM.

vehicle-specific data must be entered manually via

obtained from the Technical Hotline.
NOTE:Ensure that the most up-to-date software
version is installed in WDS.
In order to program, select the "Install

"Module programming" menu tool box and
then follow the instructions.
2. NOTE:The number of modules installed in
the vehicle can vary according to equipment
level.
The following modules must be programmed
after replacement:
• Anti-lock braking system module (ABS)
• Audio system module (ACM)
• CD player (CDP)
• Generic electronic module (GEM)
• Instrument cluster (IC)
• Navigation system (NAV) (vehicles with
navigation system)
• Parking aid module(PAM)
• Powertrain control module (PCM)
• Restraint control module (RCM)
3. NOTE:If, before replacing a PCM, it was not
possible to read out the vehicle-specific data
using WDS (the PCM to be replaced does not
respond), configuration of the PCM must be
performed following programming. For this
purpose, the vehicle-specific data must be
entered manually.
In order to configure the PCM, select the
"Programmable parameters" submenu in the
"Module programming" menu tool box and
then follow the instructions.
