The following fault can also be stored in either engine as a result of the engine power reduction:

CAUSE

DME diagnostic software

PROCEDURE

Do not replace any parts, or attempt to adjust the wastegate as noted in the test plan. This ISTA error will be corrected with the 3.50 release, planned in June 2015. 

Program the vehicle using the latest version of ISTA/P.
