Summary

"due to a flashwrite database error, when searching for 2015 forester 2.0l turbo pack files by vehicle specification (only), the new cid for the latest pak files displays incorrectly as shown below. The actual new cid should read as lf61700b as shown when the search is performed using the vehicle cid#. Regardless of how the pak file is searched, the correct file is applied by flashwrite in both cases. If the ECM is checked following programming, the new cid lf61700b will be found as long as flashwrite (release month jan 2016) is used for this application. This display error will be corrected as part of a future release of ssm4/ flashwrite. Fig 1- new cid displays incorrectly when searched by vehicle specification"
