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:

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.

  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.

    NOTE: 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.
