A fully charged battery is necessary before reprogramming can take place. DO
NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during reprogramming. Make sure
the blower motor is ‘OFF’ during programming.
All reprogramming must be done with the ignition key in the ‘ON’ position.
Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or Hi-Scan Pro
during the reprogramming procedure.
DO NOT start the engine during reprogramming.
DO NOT turn the ignition key ‘OFF’ or interrupt the power supply during reprogramming.
When the reprogramming is completed, turn the ignition key ‘OFF’ and wait 20
seconds before starting the engine.
ONLY use approved reprogramming software designated for the correct model,
year and engine size. Failure to do so may create other drivability issues due to
the use of the incorrect ECM/PCM calibration.
AUTOMATIC REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the DLC cable to the Hi-Scan Pro
main body and tighten the 2 bolts securely.
2. Remove the current system software card
