In vehicles equipped with the Roof Function Center “FZD‑21” variant, a quiescent‑current violation mayoccur if the system fails to enter sleep mode. When this sleep error is present, a remote software upgrade\(RSU\) may be aborted and the FZD can become degraded. The following Check Control Messages \(CCMs\) may be displayed: “Energy Management — Increased Energy Consumption While Parked.” “Software Upgrade Failed — Workshop Visit Required.”
