A problem caused by the boost pressure actuator power stage or circuit. The DTC “2526” translates into “Boost pressure actuator power stage failure”. This translation will be done automatically by the AE300-Wizard when reading the FCM. For this DTC all 4 error types have been defined and have the following meaning: MAX: “Short circuit to BATT of BPA power stage output”.

Copyright © 2019, Austro Engine GmbH Dept.: Type: Error Handling during Software Updates 10.5 The AE300-Wizard uses several methods to ensure successful completion of the update pro- cess or to guide the maintenance technician through situations of unsuccessful attempts or aborts. Pre-Flash Conditions 10.5.1 As indicated in chapter “10.2 Overview of the Software Update Process”...
Page 84: Aborts
Type: Aborts 10.5.3 The reasons for an abort can be grouped into three areas and the AE300-Wizard will report the reason for the specific abort to the maintenance technician and will suggest the next step. Not meeting all of the pre flash conditions will lead to an abort without even attempting the software update session.
Page 85: Unsuccessful Completion
Depending on the type of problem detected by the AE300-Wizard, the information in the message box will either suggest a manual restart of the software update by the maintenance technician, if this is a viable option, or will ask the technician to call Austro Engine for sup- port in determining further actions.
Page 86: Successful Completion
Successful Completion 10.5.5 After an uninterrupted software update session the AE300-Wizard will perform a number of post flash checks (checksums, flash memory related FCM entries, consistency of ECU-A and –B, etc.) to verify success of the update session on both ECUs.
