Advanced Test

This functionality is accessed by clicking the Advanced Test button under the Home à Connected Vehicles tab or on the Software tab. The advanced test functionality is used to check the preparedness of vehicles before starting a software download. You can e.g. check if the connectivity with PIE is working, if the communication tool is working, and to check if control units are responding.

1. Control unit connection

In the vehicle graphic, you can see status on the vehicle's control modules. The current status on the control modules is reflected by one of the following colours:

Green	Control module responsive to communication.
Orange	Control module not responsive to communication.
Grey	Control module not part of the vehicle configuration (it may, however, be in the relevant vehicle model).

Note

If all control modules are shown in grey, no readout information is available.

Test communication with control units

Click the Enable Program Mode button to enable testing of communication with control units in the current vehicle. When the button is clicked the vehicle is set to program mode and you can select a control module in the vehicle graphic to read the hardware and serial numbers. If these two numbers are displayed in the two fields below the buttons the selected control module is responsive to communication. Click the Reset button to disable program mode and return to default mode.
