This past September Suzuki released this bulletin and informed you of a new Pass-Thru reprogramming software that was required to be downloaded. Now we are revising this bulletin to inform you that another new software version must be downloaded, (new version number 1.8.3.0) to replace the previous software (old version 1.8.0.2). Software version 1.8.3.0 must be downloaded and installed prior to downloading and installing the database version 2.006.0728 and any future database versions, unless notified of a change. Also included with this version is an automatic firmware update for your SDS tool.

CORRECTION:
Follow the below procedure to check the pass-thru software version information in your PC. If you do not have the latest version please download and install the software and database from Suzuki Pitstop.

If the firmware update is required, you will see the message below. Click "OK" and follow the instructions. When finished restart the program and continue programming the vehicle as usual.
NOTE:
Anytime the software is downloaded and installed the database must be downloaded and installed again.
