Background
A new computerized system (TIS 2000) is now being supplied on the WIS CID. See SI 101-2040. One of the functions of this new system is that Tech 2 can now be used for reprogramming various control modules. At this time, Trionic T7 and ACC for the 9-5 can be reprogrammed.
IMPORTANT
Make certain you have carefully reviewed the TIS Manual Issued with this tool. Electronic control modules can be rendered useless if proper procedures are not followed.
To perform this programming, a service programming system (SPS) hardware key which connects to
Tech 2 is required. An authorized hardware key must be connected to an open serial port before any software is downloaded to an ECM.
IMPORTANT
Damaged or stolen hardware keys must be reported to Kent-Moore in order to purchase a replacement. Your hardware key is tied by serial number to your dealership and must not be used by unauthorized personnel.
To report a stolen or damaged key, contact Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233 and ask to speak with a Technical Service Representative.
