The capacitor is drained while the reprogram is done. Since the brake controller is offline while the capacitor is drained when it comes back it expects to see the
capacitor at full power. Since it is not there are several failure codes that shut the brake controller down and revert the car to...
That sucks a bad dealer makes everything difficult. Might just tell them you have carwings connection problems. There is a TSB issued for that. They should just give you the reprogram.
