- Ignition on.
Warning! The battery must supply sufficient voltage throughout the transfer.A battery charger should therefore be connected to the vehicle throughout the transfer process.
Warning! Leave VCT 2000 connected to the vehicle until VIDA displays that the program transfer is complete.
If the transfer is interrupted (this may occur if the connection between VCT 2000 and the vehicle is broken or if the battery discharges), the status of the control module may be indefinable. It is normally sufficient to switch the ignition on and off and to then try programming again to return to normal function.
In some cases it may be necessary to disconnect the control module and then switch of the ignition to return to normal function.
Caution! It is important that correct chassis number is supplied when ordering software. If an incorrect chassis number is supplied, the software may contain incorrect PIN codes. This will mean that the control module cannot be programmed.If programming fails, even though the correct software has been ordered, there may be an incorrect PIN code stored in VITaL.

Communication fault
The communication between VCT2000 and the vehicle has failed for one of the following reasons:
- Battery voltage too low
- The control module does not respond
- The ignition is off.
Ensure that:
Battery voltage exceeds 12 V.
The ignition is on.
Do you want to attempt to establish communication again?
Yes - Verification of communication with the immobilizer control module
No - No Fault Found

Communication fault
Communication failure
Communication between VIDA PC and VCT 2000 has failed for one of the following reasons:
- Ignition is OFF.
- The VST/VCT 2000 switch is not in position VCT 2000.
- VCT 2000 is not connected to the diagnostic connector.
- VCT 2000 is not connected to VIDA PC/selector switch.
- Communication problem in VIDA application and/or vehicle.
- Too low battery voltage.
Ensure that:
- Ignition is ON and selector switch is in position VCT 2000.
- VCT 2000 is properly connected to diagnostic connector inside vehicle and VIDA PC/selector switch.
- VCT 2000 and associated cables are functional.
- Battery voltage exceeds 12 V.

Information about erasing VIN codes
The IMMO3 control module has a function that allows the VIN code in the engine control module (ECM) to be erased.
This function must be used when a workshop wishes to transfer an existing engine control module (ECM) to another car or to send it for investigation according to the applicable procedures.
In these cases, the VIN code must be erased from the engine control module (ECM). This is so that the engine control module (ECM) can work with another immobilizer control module. There is a special erasing procedure. The immobilizer transmits an erasing command to the engine control module (ECM).
Do you want to continue with this procedure?
Yes - Erase the VIN code
No - DONE
-------------------------------------------------
Erase the VIN code
- Ignition on.
Click the VCT 2000 symbol to begin erasing the VIN code.
A - Exit erasing VIN codes
-------------------------------------------------
Exit erasing VIN codes
1. Ignition off for more than three seconds. Ignition on again.
2. Click the VCT 2000 symbol to begin reading off the status off VIN code erasure.
The status indicates whether or not the special command from the immobilizer control module has been transmitted to the engine control module (ECM) to erase the VIN code.
A new attempt is possible if the command has notbeen transmitted.
Do you want to make a new attempt?
Yes - Erase the VIN code
No - DONE
