Condition

Cause

This condition may be caused by a software anomaly within the SDM.

Correction

It is important that you first identify the calibration number that is in the SDM. This can be done using the Tech 2® and requesting module ID. The calibration number will determine if the SDM calibration can be updated or if the SDM will need to be replaced before the new calibration can be installed.
