Notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This function enables the program installed in ECU to be reprogrammed using M.U.T.-III.
\nAs VIN or other setting information on ECU is not erased by this reprogramming,you do not need to rewrite VIN.
\nYou can not make ECU Reprogramming with V.C.I.-Lite stand-alone<\/p>\n

Process Flow Chart<\/strong>
\nReprogramming by K-Line communication system
\n-There are 7 different ways for ECU reprogramming as shown below.
\n-Procedure (a) is recommendable due to the most simple in operation.
\n-File extension code is \u201cxxxx.rpg\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reprogramming by CAN communication system
\n-This is the only way for reprogramming by CAN communication system.
\n-This procedure allows you to select an arbitrary system (ECU) to reprogram as required.
\n-File extension code is \u201cxxxx.cff\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Equipments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Necessary parts for ECU reprogramming are as follows<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remarks<\/strong>
\n*1:Vehicle which is only equipped with a 16 pin diagnosis connector.
\n*2:Vehicle which is equipped with 16 pin and 13 pin diagnosis connector.<\/p>\n

The message \u201cPlease wait!\u201d is displayed during progress.
\nWhen complete the updating, the message disappears.
\nYou can remove the CD-ROM from PC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

< CASE 2 >
\nBy inserting ECU Reprogramming data CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of a PC, update of ECU Reprogramming data starts automatically. And by operating it according to the message displayed, it is possible to update the ECU
\nReprogramming data in M.U.T.-III in the newest state.
\nAfter terminating M.U.T.-III, insert Reprogramming data CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of a PC.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of update
\nClick the \u201cYes\u201d button, update of the ECU Reprogramming data in M.U.T.-III is started.
\nRemark:
\nAn end message changes by the kind of data updated at this time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Update finished<\/p>\n

(Case A)
\nUpdate was finished. Click the \u201cOK\u201d button, update of ECU
\nReprogramming data is ended.
