ok what am I doing wrong

For some reason car reverted back or I pressed something wrong.

when coding I'm somehow getting in muddle on "activate FA "before or after changing values.

Can someone confirm I've got the right sequence

> read FA
> read VCM
> Select HU_NBT or FEM_BODY and Right click and (Read Coding data)
> Right click on the sub file under HU_NBT or FEM_BODY and Edit FDL and code my TPMS etc
> Click Save (Floppy Icon)
> Click Back
> Then Click Acvitave FA
> Then Click COde FDL


thanks

The only thing that your description may not include is the need re-select the CAFD file that you just edited before hitting "Code FDL."

When I have done this, the edited CAFD file in the SVT window was collapsed after editing, so I had to re-expand it, select the file under the folder and then hit "Code FDL."

Not sure if this helps!!

What JDS says.

You want to activate the FA before you start editing the FDL. That way, when you save and go back, that ECU/file is active when you hit "Code FDL".

If you forget to activate the FA before editing, you must re-select the underlying CAFD (in the folder) for the ECU after activating the FA, then you can click"Code FDL".
