THIS DOCUMENT SUPERSEDES THE PREVIOUS RETAILER TECHNICAL JOURNAL 16701, DATED 12-20-2007, AND SUPERSEDES THE PREVIOUS TNN 59-13, DATED 02-01-2008. THE FAULT TRACING PROCEDURE HAS BEEN UPDATED. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR FILES.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
DESCRIPTION:
When repairing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC'S) for the Brake Control System, a technician must always follow the complete diagnostic fault-tracing path in VIDA. VIDA always lists the "Possible Sources" of the fault. In cases where the BCM is NOT listed as a possible source VIDA has added this note:
Note!
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not due to an internal hardware fault in the Brake control module (BCM) and must not be remedied by replacing the control module.
We understand that technicians are replacing BCM, solely on the appearance of a DTC in this TJ, without following the diagnostic path in VIDA.

WORKFLOW CHART
The occurrence of any of the DTC's listed in this TJ is not conclusive proof that the BCM is defective. Similarly if none of the following DTC's is found, the BCM has no hardware defect and the BCM must not be replaced. Replacing the BCM without a proper analysis may cause repeat repairs and consequently decreased customer satisfaction.

1. S40/V50/C70/C30 MY 04-

2. S60, V70/XC70 -MY07, S80 MY-06, and XC90 with 5-cylinder or T6 engines.

3. XC90 with SI6 or V8 engine (B6324S & B8444S)

4. S80 MY2007-, V70/XC70 MY2008-
SERVICE
If the BCM is replaced, printed information from VIDA which shows an appropriate DTC is required. Use the "print" function on the VIDA screen. Note that this printout must show the VIN (which must match the VIN on the warranty claim), the appropriate DTC, and the date, which must be near the QW90 repair date. All three of these requirements are circled in the illustration below.

Example
If TMA request that the BCM be returned, the VIDA printout must be returned with it. BCM's returned without this printed information, or, printouts which do not show applicable VIN and DTC'S as indicated above, may result in a warranty claim debit by VCNA.
