Parts Information

For US: Flash drives were shipped from the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) at no charge via UPS Ground Delivery-Attention: Parts Manager, to

dealers with involved vehicles.

If your USB Flash Drive has been misplaced, dealers are to obtain a USB 2.0 Flash Drive locally at their expense. The minimum USB Flash Drive

capacity requirement is 512 MB. Follow the service procedure titled, FOR CANADIAN DEALERS, AND US DEALERS WHO NEED TO

DOWNLOAD A CALIBRATION TO A NEW USB FLASH DRIVE. The calibration downloaded to the USB Flash Drive can be used to program

allowance is provided for the purchase of a USB 2.0. Flash Drive. The calibration downloaded to the USB Flash Drive can be used to program all

vehicles involved in the field action. After completing the programming event for all vehicles involved in the field action, remove (delete) the

calibration from the USB Flash Drive. Save the USB Flash Drive for future USB programming events.

Service Procedure

Note

This procedure begins with a USB flash drive programming event. This IS NOT a TIS2WEB programming event. This procedure requires a USB

2.0 flash drive. The minimum USB flash drive capacity requirement is 512 MB. The software downloaded to the USB flash drive can be used to

update all vehicles involved in this bulletin.

Any existing date on the USB flash drive will be erased during the TIS2WEB-to-USB flash drive download procedure. To ensure important date IS

NOT deleted from the USB flash drive, transfer the data from the USB flash drive onto another approved storage device BEFORE attempting to

download software from TIS2WEB.

Once the software is downloaded to the USB, DO NOT add any data to the storage device.

1. The Navigation radio software has been revised to address the above conditions. You will udpate the radio using a USB FLASH DRIVE and

the Service Programming System (SPS) with the file available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the SPS procedures and Control Module References in

SI.

Note

During programming, the battery voltage MUST be maintained within the proper range of 12-15 volts.

installation of the programming will automatically begin as indicated by the white progress bar below. If the view screen instead remains

blank for more than 40 minutes, you may then cycle the ignition. This will reinitialize the programming event. Do not remove the USB flash

drive.

14. After the USB programming has completed, the screen will go blank. (On the SRX, the screen will also lower.) It is not necessary to observe

the entire programming process. Once the screen has gone blank, a white outline bar graph will appear. (Not visible on SRX due to the screen

being lowered.) The downloaded program will automatically install. Once this progress bar fills, the screen will go blank and USB

programming will be complete.
