6. Downgrade Firmware Requirements

Downgrading the SA Module firmware is not suggested. If downgrading is necessary, before
performing it verify the current vehicle type set in the SA Module is set to a supported vehicle
type allowed by the downgraded SA Module firmware, for example, Standard Wheeled.

7. Troubleshooting

“The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the

application“error message appears

The following error shows up when the SAM Upload Utility is run.

Figure 9: Error message on program start

Download and install Microsoft’s dotnetfx.exe executable file. This file can be downloaded from
the Dealer Portal or from Microsoft’s web site. After running this program, the problem should
not happen any more. This only has to be installed once.

SA Module is unresponsive

If all the connections are right and the SA Module does not seem to communicate with the
application (the message counter at the right end of the status bar is not incrementing), power
cycle the SA Module. When the code upload process is interrupted, the SA Module is in code
upload mode and is not sending measurement messages out on the serial port. Resetting the SA
Module by power-cycling it usually fixes the problem without causing any damage on the SA
Module.

SA Module Code Upload application is unresponsive

If pressing the Get SA Module Info button does not seem to do anything or the message counter
in the status bar is slowing down, the application might be too slow for the stream of messages
coming from the SA Module. This can occur on a slow machine or if the computer's virtual
memory is running low. Usually stopping and then restarting the communication is not sufficient.
The user should completely shut-down the utility and restart it.
