7. Enter the programming code  specified in the relevant description (Technical Information, service information) and press Enter to confirm your entry.

   The text box turns blue.

8. Then press F12 ('Next') to start the guided programming sequence.

   Read and follow the information and instructions on the PIWIS Tester  during the guided programming sequence. Then press F12 ('Next') to continue.

   During the programming sequence, the control unit is re-programmed and then re-coded automatically if necessary.

   Do not interrupt programming and coding. 

   Once control unit programming - and coding if necessary - is complete, you will be prompted to switch the ignition off and then back on again after a specified waiting time.

Information 

Once programming is completed successfully, the work described under 'General subsequent work' must always be carried out. If other specific subsequent work is required, this is described in the relevant service information or in the relevant Technical Information.

Information 

• If an error message is displayed during programming (e.g. "Campaign does not exist", "No suitable programming rules found" or "Vehicle data could not be read", etc.), please read and follow the appropriate instructions provided under > Troubleshooting. 
• If programming is interrupted (e.g. due to a voltage drop or if communication is aborted, etc.) or could not be carried out successfully (error message "Programming unsuccessful"), programming must be repeated by reentering the programming code (Additional menu > Campaign >> Enter campaign number). It is not possible to program the control units manually. 
• If coding is not carried out successfully during the guided programming sequence, the control unit must be recoded again separately once the guided programming sequence is complete. To do this, select the relevant control unit in the control unit selection screen ('Overview' menu) and press F12 ('Next') to confirm your selection. Once the control unit has been found, select the 'Coding/programming' menu and re-code the control unit using the 'Automatic coding' function.
