IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current
date.



All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.



Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V
during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.

drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM
may be damaged.



Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC or VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.

Connect a battery maintainer/smart charger to the vehicle.

2.

Connect the VI to the vehicle.
