- 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.

Information about programming the combined instrument panel

Note! This programming must not be carried out on a new unprogrammed combined instrument panel. Exit. Order the correct software package for a new combined instrument panel.

This function can be used to program the combined instrument panel for PIN protected settings.
See VIDA vehicle communication to program non-protected settings.

The following can be programmed:
- Calibration of the fuel consumption function in the trip computer
- The fuel level at which the fuel level warning lamp should be lit
- The type of engine management system for the engine coolant temperature display
- Time delay (only applies to bi-fuel cars)
- The speedometer display.

Select one of the following functions:
1. Modifying programmed values
2. Reading off the programmed values
3. Exit programming.

1 - Programming fuel consumption calculation, offset

2 - ???

3 - DONE

Reading off the programmed values

Information about reading off parameters
Before the control module is replaced it is vital that the programming is read off the old combined instrument panel.
Read off the programmed values in the old control module. Note the values.
If it is not possible to read off the values, consult the either the manager, the sales company or the customer so that the new control module is programmed with the same values as the old control module.
Reading off is divided into two sections; one section for the parameters that can be programmed and one section for the parameters that are factory programmed or programmed by the manufacturer.

Select one of the following functions:
1. Read off the customer programmed values, instruments only calibrated in kilometers
2. Read off the customer programmed values, instruments calibrated in both miles and kilometers
3. Read off the factory programmed values
4. Finish reading off.

Programming fuel consumption calculation, offset

Warning! This setting affects the entire fuel calculation in the combined instrument panel. This setting can only be modified using specific information from the dealer.

Note! This parameter is used to set the trip computer's fuel consumption value. This value may need to be reprogrammed if the trip computer value does not correspond to the actual value.This programming is only relevant if the display is installed and the trip computer function is programmed.




- Ignition on.
1. Click the VCT2000 symbol to activate the programming procedure
2. Read off the current value for the setting in the upper list box
3. To modify the Offset value, select the desired setting from the alternatives in the lower list window
4. Select the Start programming button to begin the programming procedure
5. Check that the new setting in the middle list window is correct.
If the selected setting is incorrect, click on the desired value in the lower list box again. Then click on the Start programming button. Check that the new value in the middle list window is the desired value.

-------------------------------------------------

Programming time delay

Warning! This setting affects the function for calculating low gas level in the combined instrument panel. Incorrect setting can result in gas power being connected at the incorrect level! This setting can only be modified using specific information from the dealer.

Note! A time delay begins when the combined instrument panel detects that the gas level in the fuel tank is low (via the signal from the gas level sensor). After the time delay, the combined instrument panel transmits a signal to the LPG control module indicating low gas level and the engine control module (ECM) for EMS2000 switches to gasoline power. This parameter is used to program the length of the time delay.
