Service bulletin AOS-14-03

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

From application version 2.1.0 and higher, ODIS Service and its web-based integration with ElsaPro are optimized for Windows 7 and Internet Explorer (IE) version 9. New VAS 6150C Diagnostic Laptops and VAS 6160A Diagnostic Tablet devices are shipped with Windows 7 and IE9. In addition, Windows 7 installation DVDs (that include IE9) are scheduled to arrive at dealerships during the weeks of February 24 and March 3, 2014. These DVDs are used to update existing, eligible devices in service with Windows 7. Instructions will be posted on ServiceNet when the DVDs are released. However, please be aware that all new and existing VAS diagnostic devices with Windows 7 are subject to Windows online updates that include IE10 and IE11. The installation of IE10 and/or IE11 from a Windows 7 update will impair ODIS Service web-based functions. As a result, and until further notice, the automatic download and installation of IE10 and IE11 during a Windows update session must be prevented. Use the procedures in the sections below to configure the Windows automatic update setting on each VAS diagnostic device with Windows 7 to check for updates (no automatic download/install), and disable IE10 and IE11 installations.

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.
