SVM
Updating the vehicle configuration on the manufacturer servers.
SVM (Software Version Management) synchronises the vehicle's declared configuration with the manufacturer servers. Essential after a retrofit, a control unit replacement or an equipment change — otherwise fault codes come straight back.
Common examples
- Validating an equipment retrofit
- Declaring a replaced control unit
- Fixing configuration inconsistencies
- Updating the global vehicle coding
Control units involved
- Engine control unit (ECU)
