SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The customer may experience a condition where their DVD (having the correct DVD format) may not function as designed on a DVD enabled radio. This condition may be present on vehicles equipped with a NSG37O manual transmission. In order for the DVD enabled radio to play a DVD, the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) module must receive and process certain electronic messages related to the operation of the DVD enabled radio. The revised CCN software allows for the correct processing of these messages.

DIAGNOSIS:

Using a StarSCAN(R) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in TechCONNECT, verify all electrical Systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs are present record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.

1. Verify and record the current software level of the CCN module.

2. Is the current CCN module software level at 05172272AC (or higher)?
