You may need to re-image the sfr software module. the following will accomplish that:
ciscoasa# sw-module module sfr recover configure image disk0:/<boot file name that you have loaded onto ASA flash - it is an "img" file type> ciscoasa# sw-module module sfr recover boot
Once you've done that, you should be able to session into the module console and run "setup", followed by "system install". During this last step you will need the full "pkg" file available for upload onto the module.
Files can be found here for registered users with a support contract. (Expand the 5.4.0 section of the tree to see the smaller img and large pkg files.)

Hi Marvin Rhoads,
Thanks for your suggestion.
i am also thinking to re-image the SFR.
should i need to boot the PKG file after system install. because when i use commsnd "Sh disk0:/" i could not see the PKG file in the device.

Hasanul,
Imaging and booting an sfr module is a 2-stage process.
The first stage is to bootstrap using the img file (~ 40 MB) that is on the ASA disk0 compact flash (or other accessible media such as the USB). Running setup after you've done that gets you to the point of the sfr module having enough functionality to be a client on the network and proceed to the next stage.
The second stage involves transferring the much larger pkg file (~420 MB) from an external source (such as an ftp server) onto the sfr module itself and then completing the installation.

The IMG is pretty quick - the PKG takes ages! leave debugging on! also I noticed on a 5.4. to 6.0 upgrade last week it asks you a question to which you need to respond yes halfway though!!
I watched one for an hour once, then drove an hour home, it didnt come up till 22:00 hours at night!
