Part 2

Part 2: Download special ABS/VDC Reprogramming Data from ASIST onto your standard 8 MB (orange) Reprogramming Card.

This part of the procedure involves two general steps:

^ Setting up

^ Download (transfer) data from ASIST into CONSULT-II (8 MB orange Reprogramming card).

SETTING UP:

1. Install the standard 8 MB (orange) Reprogramming Card into CONSULT-II.





Use slot A-top slot (see Figure 1).

2. Connect the AC power supply to CONSULT-II.

3. Connect CONSULT-II to the ASIST PC with the special Ethernet cable (P/N 02002554 is printed on the cable).

a. Connect one end to CONSULT-II at the "PC port".

b. Connect the other end to the ASIST PC at the Ethernet Card connection port.

4. Confirm the CONSULT-II date and time are correctly set as follows:

(This is necessary to provide a valid print-out for warranty claims.)

a. With the 8MB (orange) Reprogramming card in slot A turn ON CONSULT-II.

b. Touch [SUB MODE]





c. Touch [SET DATE] (see Figure 2).

1) If the date is not correct touch the [MONTH], [DAY] or [YEAR] as needed. Then adjust it by using arrow keys. Once done press press [BACK] and go to step d.

2) If the date is OK press [BACK] and go to step d.

d. Touch [SET TIME] (see Figure 2).

1) If time is not correct touch the [HOUR], [MINUTE] or [AM/PM] as needed. Then adjust it by using arrow keys. After you are done press SAVE press [BACK] and go to step 5.

2) If time is OK press [BACK] and go to step 5.

IMPORTANT NOTE

^ If your ASIST PC has already been set up to perform ECU reprogramming proceed to step 5.

^ If you are unsure whether your ASIST PC has already been set up for ECU reprogramming, look in ASIST, under CONSULT Utilities > CONSULT-II Info > INFINITI > ECU Reprogramming. This will give you instructions for setting the Ethernet (IP) Address of the ASIST PC and CONSULT-II. You will need to do this before performing ECU reprogramming.

DOWNLOAD (TRANSFER) DATA FROM ASIST INTO CONSULT-II (8 MB Orange Card)





5. From the ASIST PC main menu screen select CONSULT UTILITIES (see Figure 3).





6. From the "CONSULT UTILITIES" screen select "ECU Reprog. Data" (see Figure 4).





^ After you select "ECU Reprog. Data", the "ECU Reprogramming Data" screen will be displayed (see Figure 5).

NOTE:

^ This is a special ABS/VDC reprogram that uses an ID Code FOR THIS INCIDENT ONLY!

^ Step 7 (below) is different from the typical ECU Reprogramming procedure.

7. Select the new ABS/VDC Control Unit data as follows:

a. Click on the Keypad button (see Figure 5).





b. Keypad will appear (see Figure 6).

c. Using the digit keys on the keypad enter ID Code 060402.

d. Then click the "Continue" button on the keypad.





^ After you click "Continue" the "CAUTION" screen will appear (see Figure 7).

e. Read the "CAUTION" screen carefully (see Figure 7). Then click "Okay".

8. Prepare CONSULT-II as follows (see Figure 8):

a. Make sure:

^ CONSULT-II is "OFF".

^ The 8 MB (orange) Reprogramming Card is inserted into CONSULT-II.

^ The A/C Power Adapter is securely connected to CONSULT-II.

^ The Ethernet Cable is securely connected to CONSULT-II and the PC port.

b. Turn CONSULT-II ON.

c. Select "Transfer Files via LAN".





NOTE:
If you accidentally choose a menu option other than "Transfer Files via LAN"; turn CONSULT-II OFF and then back ON as shown in Figure 8.

d. Set the CONSULT-II unit down for now and go to your ASIST PC.





CAUTION:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE UNTIL THE DATA TRANSFER IS COMPLETE (SEE FIGURE 10).

^ If the cable is disconnected before the data transfer is complete you MUST restart the transfer (download) procedure; otherwise ABS/VDC damage can occur.

^ If this happens accidentally; wait for ASIST to display an "error" message then click on "OK". Reconnect the cable select "Backup" then return to step 6.

9. Transfer (download) data from ASIST into CONSULT-II.

a. On the ASIST screen click on "OKAY" (see Figure 8).





b. Verify CONSULT-II IP Address (see Figure 9). Then click on "OK".

^ Your IP address may differ based on the network configuration.

^ After you click on "OK" an ASIST screen will appear that shows the data transfer progress (see Figure 10).

c. Wait until the data transfer is complete (see the CAUTION above step 9).

^ When the data transfer is complete CONSULT-II will shut OFF automatically.

d. Disconnect the A/C power cord and the Ethernet cable from CONSULT-II.
