NOTICE
Global Diagnostic System (GDS) users should access the "NOTICE" function from the GDS Main Screen for instructions reguarding ECM upgrade events.

NOTICE
^ A fully charged battery is necessary before ECM upgrade can take place. DO NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during ECM upgrade. Make sure the blower motor is "OFF" during ECM upgrade.

^ All ECM upgrades must be done with the ignition key in the "ON" position.

^ Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or GDS during the ECM upgrade procedure.

- Service Procedure

1. Connect the power supply cable to the GDS tool.

NOTICE
If attempting to perform the ECM upgrade with power supply cable disconnected from the GDS tool, be sure to check that the GDS tool is fully charged before ECM upgrade. If the GDS tool is not fully charged, failure to perform the ECM upgrade may occur. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the power supply connector be connected to the GDS tool.

2. Connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.

NOTICE
When performing the ECM upgrade using the GDS tool, wireless communication between the VCI and GDS tool is not available. Therefore, be sure to connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.

3. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the VCI.





4. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the OBD-II connector located under the driver's side of the instrument panel.

5. With the ignition key ON, turn ON the VCI and GDS tool. Access the GDS vehicle identification number (VIN) screen and configure the vehicle using the VIN AUTO DETECT Function.

NOTICE
Global Diagnostic System (GDS) users should access the "NOTICE" function from the GDS Main Screen for instructions reguarding ECM upgrade events.

6. Once back at the GDS Main Screen, select ECM upgrade from the bottom right-hand corner. Next select Auto Mode, Engine. Perform the ECM upgrade in accordance with normal GDS tool ECM upgrade procedures.





MANUAL MODE ECM UPGRADE PASSWORDS

NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to perform a Manual Mode ECM upgrade unless Auto Mode fails. Always follow the instructions given on the GDS tool in either Auto or Manual mode. See table above for Manual Mode passwords. In addition, a ECM reset is required if Auto Mode fails; refer to the table for procedure.

7. When the GDS tool reports that the ECM upgrade has been successfully completed, click OK, turn OFF the ignition key, and wait at least 10 seconds before attempting to start the engine.
