Procedure

Check box C3 on the modification identity plate before taking any action. Continue as follows if the box is not marked.

Read this first!

Check that the computer to be used includes the latest issues of Tech2 and TIS 2000 with the correct versions for SPS programming.

Tools for SPS programming

PC with TIS200 and WIS installed

Dongle with adapter

Tech 2 with 32 Mbit card

Tech 2’s PC cable with RS232 adapter (max length 10 m)

Battery Tester 311

Pliers

12 Volt current requirement for programming

It is essential that the battery is in good condition in order to carry out successful SPS programming. Before work is started the status of the battery must be checked. This is done using "Battery Analyser 311" Battery tester 86 12 533 (EU) or 86 12 525 (US). Follow the battery tester instructions. Remove the car's main fuses with the battery in order to eliminate "System noise" during the test. Fit the main fuses after the battery test has been carried out.

If necessary charge the battery with low level current (less than 15 A) at the same time as SPS programming is carried out. Avoid rapid charging (above 20 A) as this can disrupt SPS programming.
