- [A691428 2023323\-](/bulletins/10122295.md), 2017-11-08, Service bulletin: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE\-INACTIVE; AIR BAGS. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 69 number 13\-26 dated October 21, 2013. After the airbag control module \(J234\) has been replaced, the control unit cannot be coded via SVM spec/actual. An SVM code is required to code and parameterize the new service replacement airbag control module. Each model's SVM code is provided in a parts bulletin \(GP bulletin\), which should have been referenced through ETKA when the module was replaced. The control module cannot be coded until the SVM code has been executed. If the SVM code was not acquired through the GP bulletin in ETKA, follow the instructions in the Service section of this bulletin to update the control module.
