HI-SCAN PRO SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION
This bulletin details the procedure for updating the Hi-Scan Pro Software Cards. New software for the Hi-Scan and for reprogramming vehicle Engine Control Modules (ECM) and Transaxle Control Modules (TCM) will be provided periodically via the Hyundai Service Web Site (www.hmaservice.com) and HDS CDROM updates.
PROCEDURE:
Three software cards are included in the Hi-Scan kit:
^ The "SOL" card contains the main program that operates the Hi-Scan; reading codes and data.
^ The "Reprogramming" card is used for reprogramming ECMs and TCMs for campaigns and field fixes.
^ The "INFO" card contains additional diagnostic tips and information that are not on the standard SOL card.
An RS232 communication cable is included in the Hi-Scan kit. This cable is used to connect the Hi-Scan to the HDS for data transfer.
1. Connect the RS232 cable to the 9-pin COM port on the back of HDS.
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the COM port on the left side of the Hi-Scan.
3. Provide power to the Hi-Scan using the cigarette lighter power adapter.
4. Insert only the software card you (wish to update into the Hi-Scan.
5. Make sure the "Write Protect Tab" is set to the right. Setting the tab to the right enables new software to be written to the card.
If the tab is to the left, an error will occur during the update process.
Note:
It is OK to leave the INFO card in the Hi-Scan while updating either the SOL or Reprogramming cards.
6. Turn the Hi-Scan ON and select "Data Down Load" from the main menu.
7. From the HDS Info-Tech home screen, click the "Scan-Tool Update" button to launch the update utility.
8. Note the brief instructions on the left of the screen and click the "51W Download" button.
9. Select the new software from the "File List".
To avoid confusion, the three different types of software start with an identification letter:
S - = Software for the SOL card
R - = Software for the Reprogramming card
I - = Software for the INFO card
Example: "S-System 04-28-00.dat" is software for the SOL card.
10. Select the proper "Port" setting
COM1 is the default setting and should work for most systems.
If the program does not transfer the software to the Hi-Scan, try changing the "Port" setting to COM2.
11. Select the proper "Data Type"
"Standard Pack" is the default setting and is used when updating the SOL and Reprogramming software cards.
"Trouble Shooting Pack" is used only for updating the INFO software card.
COM1 is the default setting and should work for most systems.
If the program does not transfer the software to the Hi-Scan, try changing the "Port" setting to COM2.
12. Click the "Write" button to start the download process.
13. The progress meter at the bottom indicates the percent complete.
It will take approximately 5 minutes for the file to download to the Hi-Scan.
14. The Hi-Scan screen also displays the download progress.
15. After the file has finished downloading, turn the Hi-Scan OFF and then back ON to use the new software.
NOTE:
If for any reason the download process is interrupted before completion, the software on the software card may become corrupted. Indications of a corrupted card or blank card are a flashing screen and beeping when the Hi-Scan is turned ON.
To restore the corrupted software card, hold down the "Shift" and "F1" keys on the Hi-Scan while pushing the ON button. This puts the Hi-Scan into Software Download mode immediately. Try the download process again as shown starting at step 1.
16. To check the software version, select "System Setup".
17. Then select "System Configuration"
18. The "S/W Card Ver." shows the current software version.
