Program Start

Program start using DISplus or GT-1 with diagnostic head connected to vehicle. Select CODING/PROGRAMMING from start mask. When program is started for the first time after a CD installation, there is a longer wait time (about 90 seconds). Start CIP by selecting "8 CIP", then press the forward arrow. See Fig 1. The initial CIP screen is then displayed. After startup, CIP determines the Vehicle Order (VO), previously known as the Central Coding Key (ZCS) and records which control modules are installed in the vehicle. The vehicle order is not displayed on the screen.
