Programming and Relearning

REPLACEMENT OF ECM AND SMARTRA
In case of a detective ECM. the unit has to be replaced by "virgin" or "neutral" ECM. All keys have to be programmed into the new ECM. keys, which are not programmed into ECM, are invalid for the new ECM. Refer to key teaching procedure . The vehicle specific data have to be left unchanged due to the unique programming of transponder.

In case of a defective SMARTER, there is no special procedure required. A new SMARTER device simply replaces the old one. There are no transponder - related data stored in this device.

NEUTRALISING OF ECM
The ECM can be set to the "neutral" status by a tester.

A valid ignition key is inserted and after ignition on is recorded, the ECM requests the vehicle specific data from the tester. The communication messages are described at "Neutral Mode". After successfully receiving the data, the ECM is neutralized.

The ECM remains locked. Neither the limp home mode nor the "twice ignition on" function is accepted by ECM.

The teaching of keys follows the procedure described for virgin ECM. The vehicle specific data have to be unchanged due to the unique programming of transponder. If data should be changed, new keys with virgin transponder are requested.
