SERVICE PROCEDURE:
Before considering replacing a CAN Gateway Module for possibly setting DTCs or causing
other components to not operate properly:
Perform a write configuration with C-III plus
using the Manual Configuration mode and
then the auto function to “over-write” the
vehicle’s configuration to the CAN Gateway
Module.
•

DO NOT perform a “Read
Configuration” of the original
configuration first.

•

C-III plus will write the correct
configuration based on the vehicle’s
type.

Select Manual
Configuration

5. After performing an auto over-write:
a. Erase DTCs in all systems.
b. Cycle the ignition.
c. Erase all DTCs a second time and wait for 2 seconds or more, and then confirm that
any components that did not respond now function correctly.
6. If no other DTCs are present and all components now function correctly, do not replace
the CAN Gateway Module.

If the CAN Gateway Module must be replaced, DO NOT read the original vehicle
configuration of the original CAN Gateway Module to C-III plus before replacement.
•

After replacing a CAN Gateway Module with a new or used unit, use steps 1 and 2
to over-write the CAN Gateway Module’s configuration.

IMPORTANT:
¾ If you set the incorrect “Read / Write Configuration”, DTCs may occur and some
systems might not respond or operate.
