This causes the unit to enter control mode after a cold start and cut power supply to the battery. The battery becomes insufficiently charged, triggering warning lights and warning messages, and the vehicle may become inoperable.

On all vehicles, reprogram the power supply control software in the power control unit with the corrected updated software.
