- Hardware lock with adapter

- PC cable with RS232 adapter

- Tech2 with 32 Mb card

- CANdi box


Brief instructions

It is important that all measures are performed in the prescribed order. ICM must be updated first because new software in ICM is required to make it possible to carry out certain subsequent measures.

The procedure to be completed is structured according to the following stages:


A. Update of TIS 2000 with CD TIS 2000 2003-1 or later.

B. Update of Tech2 software to version 105.500 or later.

C. Preparing the car for software update.

Note

In order to save time, Tech2 should be connected to both the car and the PC during the entire update procedure.


Important

No PC in proximity to the car: If Tech2 disconnects from the car, the CANdi box should be disconnected from Tech2. The CANdi box may remain connected to the car's data link connector.


D. Update of car software and hardware replacement according to the accompanying checklist (supplement D1).

E. Functionality check.


Detailed instructions



A. Update of TIS 2000 with CD TIS 2000 2003-1 (or later).

Note

If the computer on which TIS 2000 is installed has already been updated to TIS 2000 2003-1 (or later), there is no need to update the computer again.



1. Insert CD TIS 2000 2003-1 (or later) into the computer.

2. Then start TIS 2000.

3. Follow the instructions in TIS 2000.


B. Update of Tech2 software

Tech2 with new 105.500 (or later) software is required for SPS programming and to “Add” control modules.

It is very important that Tech2 is updated to version 105.500 (or later) before the following procedures are completed.

Follow the instructions in TIS 2000 and Tech2 in order to update the software in Tech2.

C. Preparing the car for software update

The entire procedure is indicated on the checklist (Supplement D1), which can be used as a guide during the entire process. One copy of the checklist should be printed out for each car receiving an update.

Important

SPS programming must not be interrupted due to a loosened diagnostics cable or insufficient battery voltage, for example.

The car's power consumption is high during control module programming. Always connect a battery charger during SPS programming.

Do not activate any switches in the car e.g. opening/closing doors or windows, etc. Programming could be interrupted and the control module could be damaged to such an extent that it is no longer functional.

The engine control module ECM (petrol) can become unusable if programming is interrupted; for example, if the diagnostics cable comes loose or the battery voltage is too low. There is a risk that the other control modules may become damaged and unusable.

During SPS programming, all normal bus communication is stopped. As a result, the main fuse boxes assume Limp Home mode and switch on the dipped beams and rear lighting.


D. Update of car software and hardware replacement

Important

It is extremely important that the measures are carried out in the prescribed order.


Note

Enter the car's VIN and equipment level in the table header of the checklist (supplement D1) before proceeding. This facilitates work and saves time. So that the correct alternative can be chosen when “Add” is executed, check in SID whether there are menu options for parking and engine block heaters.
