NOTICE
If attempting to perform the ECM upgrade with the power supply cable
disconnected from the GDS, be sure to check that the GDS is fully charged
before ECM upgrade. If the GDS 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.
2. Connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS.
NOTICE
When performing the ECM upgrade using the GDS, wireless communication
between the VCI and GDS is not available. Therefore, be sure to connect the
USB cable between the VCI and the GDS.
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.
