KIA | KDS 2.0 | Troubleshooting: Ethernet-Required ECU Upgrade Failure

Oscar Eom
Updated

This article provides troubleshooting procedures for Ethernet-required ECU Upgrade failures when using KDS 2.0 diagnostic devices. It covers causes such as an incorrect tablet IP configuration, outdated software, or unstable connections. It also provides solutions, including hardware inspections, IP settings, app permissions, OS updates, power resets, and Technical Support contact information if the issue persists.

Quick links

 

Applies to

Ethernet-required ECU Upgrade workflow using:

  • VCI2 + ECI (wired Ethernet connection)
  • VCI3 + 9-pin USB cable (Ethernet over USB)
  • KDS 2.0 diagnostic device and Android tablet

 

Symptom

 

Cause

  • Incorrect or missing fixed IP configuration on the tablet
  • Outdated Android OS or Google Play system Update
  • Unstable VCI2/VCI3 power supply or incomplete connection
  • Temporary ECU or vehicle-side communication Stall requiring a power reset

 

Resolution

Step 1) Verify the Ethernet hardware connection

Note:
System or OS updates may reset manually configured Ethernet settings. Verify the settings after an Update and reconfigure them if necessary.

Confirm the exact connection method required for Ethernet upgrades:

  • VCI2 + ECI: OBD → ECI → VCI2 → Tablet

    IMPORTANT:
    Make sure all connectors are firmly seated and the cables are not bent or damaged.

 

  • VCI3 + 9-pin USB cable: OBD → VCI3 → 9-pin USB → Tablet

    IMPORTANT:
    Make sure all connectors are firmly seated and the cables are not bent or damaged.

 

 

Step 2) Verify the static/fixed IP setting in the tablet settings

  • Tap the Recent apps button (□) on the Navigation bar.
  • Open Android settings and navigate to:
    • Variant A: Settings → Connections → More connection settings → Ethernet → Configure Ethernet device
    • Variant B: Settings → Network & Internet → Ethernet → Configure Ethernet device

 

 

  • Enter the following static IP settings, and then tap [Save]:
    • IP address: 10.0.128.0
    • Netmask: 255.0.0.0
    • DNS address: 8.8.8.8
    • Default gateway: 10.0.128.0
    • Proxy: None

 

Step 3) Confirm app permissions and Android OS & Google Play system Update

 

A. App Permission – GITMCommManagerService

When performing an ECU Upgrade, KDS 2.0 prompts you to grant any missing app permissions.
Make sure to tap [OK] or [Allow].

Manually granting app permissions for GITMCommManagerService:

B. Android OS & Google Play system Update

  1. Open Settings on the tablet.
  2. Go to About tablet → Software information.
  3. Select Google Play system Update.
  4. Make sure the tablet is fully updated (minimum: Android OS 13 + Google Play System 2024 or later).

 

Step 4) If ECU Upgrade still fails after completing Steps 1–3

Warning: Disconnecting the vehicle battery requires safe working conditions.

  1. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
  2. Wait at least 5 Minutes for ALL ECUs to fully power down.
  3. Reconnect the battery and retry the ECU Upgrade process 2–3 times.

 

Step 5) If the symptom persists, reboot the tablet

  1. Turn off the tablet completely.
  2. Wait approximately 10 Seconds.
  3. Turn the tablet back on and attempt the upgrade again.

Step 2) Verify the static/fixed IP setting + Step 1) Verify the hardware connection

  • Check the IP address: 10.0.128.0 / Netmask: 255.0.0.0
  • Confirm the VCI wired Ethernet connection (VCI2+ECI or VCI3+9-pin USB)
  • Make sure all connectors are firmly seated

Step 2) Verify the static/fixed IP setting + Step 1) Verify the hardware connection

  • Check the IP address: 10.0.128.0 / Netmask: 255.0.0.0
  • Confirm the VCI wired Ethernet connection (VCI2+ECI or VCI3+9-pin USB)
  • Make sure all connectors are firmly seated

Missing/deleted files – After verifying that the following files exist in the nvci/portableupdater folder, contact GIT America:

  • procedure_pre_ota2_vec.xml
  • procedure_post_ota2_vec.xml
  • procedure_ucmInit_ota2_vec.xml
Other Error Codes

Contact the ECU manufacturer or GIT America Technical Support

  • Provide the VIN, event number, and error code
  • The tablet app log may be required
  • The issue may involve ECU-specific conditions or firmware

 

If it still does not work

If Ethernet communication still does not start, the issue may involve the VCI firmware, ECI hardware, or specific vehicle conditions. Contact us and provide the following:
