Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Connect the Smart Cable's large blue connector to the vehicle's DLC (data link connector). Connect the other end of the Smart Cable to the DLC
port on the Smart Cable box. The green light (#1) on the Smart Cable flashes, then glows steadily.
NOTE:
If the yellow (#2) and green lights flash and then glow steadily, the PCM broadcast code already matches the code in the Smart Cable. Go to step 5.
3.
Momentarily push and release the START button on the Smart Cable to begin the PCM update. While updating the PCM, the yellow light on the
Smart Cable flashes, and the green light glows steadily.

The update takes 1 to 3 minutes. The yellow and green lights glow steadily to indicate the update is complete.
5.
Disconnect the Smart Cable from the DLC.

If the vehicle still has the problem you tried to correct with the update, refer to the appropriate service manual or ETM for troubleshooting
information.
