VXDIAG JLR SDD V167 Update Not Performed Error Solution

Problem:

Tried to diagnose a 2013 Jaguar X350 with VXDIAG VCX SE JLR and SDD V167 software. VCX SE connected with the vehicle but SDD said software updates have not been performed recently. But it is the latest version. Any idea?

Solution:

JLR servers being hacked and down since September 2nd, 2025.

SDD has stopped talking for the corporate server.

Still not right just now. TOPIX still works but has limited functionality.

You are not able to connect SDD to server or run update.

If this version does not work, download and install SDD V166. The previous version works fine.

VXDIAG JLR SDD V166 Software “Out of Date” Solution

Problem:

Installed JLR SDD V166 software for VXDIAG VCX SE JLR. But failed to start software. Failed to download data and displayed error “The software status file is out of date”. Any solution?

Solution:

1).Change computer date/time.

User feedback:

So the solution that worked is to set the date and to 2020 after that there was no pop up for “The software status file is out of date”. Modules software files download as usual worked on 2 cars today so far it is working with setting the data and time to few years back.

 

Open SDD to “continue” then change the year to 2020 and continue using normally.

 

2). If not working, download and use the latest version SDD.

Current version goes to V167 (till June 2025).

Run SDD and use as normal. – you may have to go to Settings > Network > and enable network connection to get online downloads working.Network icon may be red, but downloads should still be working.

Problem:

Activated both SDD and Pathfinder DOIP licenses on my VXDIAG VCX SE JLR DoIP device. The VX Manager detects the tool, and I’m logged into my online Pathfinder account. However, it failed me when attempting to download data from the server. I receive the error:

“Communication Error – No VCI (Scan Tool) Found.”

Solution:

Missing orignial bosch driver for JLR Pathfinder.

Install Bosch VCI Driver Installer (Bosch VCI software JLR 2.4.22.59 driver) in JLR-TopixInstaller folder.

It should be fine.

If the software shows low voltage, it means the tool is not connected to the vehicle. Connect it to the car and try again.

VXDIAG VCX SE JLR Pathfinder No Read Live Data?

Problem:

Hooked up a VXDIAG VCX SE JLR scanner on a Jaguar F-pace 2018. Pathfinder software will read the fault codes on the PCM module, but it cannot display live data or actuator information.

Possible reason:

JLR Pathfinder HDD is cracked offline software. It cannot download the CCF/XML files from the DSFM server due to recent modifications in JLR’s cloud security settings.

Now the DFMS server is no longer accessible, so cannot do CCF upload. 

Use OEM DoIP VCI with official account or other 3rd party tools (JLR Pluto etc).
