| Update Bulletin | 2017-10-31. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. UPDATE Technical Bulletin (TDI Battery Management Software): The battery can become discharged when the ECM "wakes-up" the CAN bus to do a diagnostic (~9 hours after vehicle shut-off). During that diagnostic time-window, if the door is opened or the ignition is switched ON, the ECM goes into a mode that can continuously wake-up the CAN bus, leading to excessive parasitic draw and a discharged battery while the vehicle is parked. This update has been proactively released to prevent the battery from becoming discharged due to a unique set of circumstances during the CAN bus diagnostic phase, leading to excessive parasitic draw and a discharged battery while the vehicle is parked. |
