There is a software error in the JBBFE-3R control module. Very intermittently, the JBBFE-3R wakes up in bootloader mode instead of application mode.

Perform diagnostics with ISTA and work through any related test modules. Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.37.0 or later.
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
