Typically, one or more of the following FRM (Footwell Module) faults are stored. The faults usually set at the same mileage

corresponding related test modules for the faults that are stored in the system.
Note:
When the ISTA system message displays "Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V", please connect the charger.
Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
2. If the test modules do not identify a problem (the wiring and bulbs are good), code the FRM with ISTA /P2.43.2 or higher by
selecting the FRM from the control unit list (this will add the FRM coding to the measures plan).
3. Finish programming\coding the vehicle and perform all programming post work as recommended by ISTA/P.
