NYVIP MESSAGE No
NYVIP
MESSAGE No. 15 (2006)
12/29/2006
TO:
All INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM:
NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES
SUBJECT:
SOFTWARE UPDATE—IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Recently, SGS
Testcom mailed the NYVIP 2006 Software update CD, with
installation instructions to all NYVIP inspection stations. The
first OBD inspection after the NYVIP unit is updated will update the
scan tool and will take longer than usual.
SGS Testcom has
received a few calls from stations that have unplugged the scan tool
during that first inspection before the inspection was fully
completed. This caused damage to the scan tool, requiring
replacement. To prevent damage to the scan tool, you must keep
the scan tool plugged into the vehicle during the first
inspection after you install the software into the NYVIP unit.
Please watch the screen prompts carefully and follow the instructions
closely.
Do not unplug
the scan tool until the screen prompts tell you the inspection is
completed.
REMINDER-
If you received the
update and have not loaded it into your NYVIP analyzer, do so
right away. This update must be installed by 1/31/2007.
Failure to load the update could result in an Administrative Stop
being placed on your Facility License, causing you to be locked out
of the NYVIP analyzer and interrupting your ability to inspect
vehicles until the update is performed and the stop is removed.
The software update
CD is easy to load by following the instructions and takes less than
five minutes. If you have not received the update CD,
instructions to load the software or require assistance, please
contact the Help Desk at 1-866-469-8477.
These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the
inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important
information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
