Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Section 1

Section 1: Connect a battery charger and CONSULT-II to the vehicle.

1. Confirm the ignition switch is OFF.

2. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.

Set the charger at a low charge rate (2-amp "trickle charge").

IMPORTANT
You must connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery when performing ABS/VDC reprogramming. Permanent ABS/VDC damage can occur if you don't.

Connecting a vehicle battery charger will maintain:

^ Proper CONSULT-II power supply during reprogramming-very important if the CONSULT-II battery is low.

^ Vehicle battery voltage level-especially on late model vehicles where the cooling fans come on during reprogramming.





3. Connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle using the DLC-II cable with black Converter Box (see Figure 11).

VERY IMPORTANT:

^ Make sure the DLC-II is pushed in straight and fully plugged in to the vehicle connector.

^ Make sure all other DLC-II cable connections (as shown in Figure 11) are connected properly.

CAUTION

^ Infiniti requires the use of essential tools shown in Figure 11 when performing ABS/VDC reprogramming

^ J44200-10 "Pigtail" should not be removed from the CONSULT-II DDL Port. This "Pigtail" allows use of the stronger "quick disconnect" cable set.

^ If cables are very often changed at the DDL Port (base) of the CONSULT-II unit cable connector pin damage may result.

^ If there is connector pin damage ABS/VDC reprogramming may fail. Permanent damage to the ABS/VDC system can occur.
