How to Reprogram A Smart Cable
*1.
If not already done, load the November 2001 or later DCS CD onto your DCS workstation. Loading instructions were included in the CD's
mailing. If you have questions about loading the CD, call the ACURALINK 2000 Support Center at 800-245-4343. *
2.
Connect the small end of the PC interface cable to the PC port on the Smart Cable box. (Some cables have a yellow label near the small end to
help you identify it.)
3.
Connect the PC adapter end of the PC interface cable into the 9P serial port on the DCS workstation.
NOTE:
If the workstation you're using isn't the same one used for updating PGM Tester program cards, you'll need to disconnect the interface cable from one
workstation, and then connect it to the 9P serial port on the other workstation. To avoid this extra step, get a PC interface kit for each workstation.
4.
Connect the 110 VAC/12 VAC power supply to the Smart Cable box and to 110 VAC power.
5.
Log in to ACURALINK 2000.
6.
At the top of the ACURALINK 2000 screen, click on Service Bay, then click on Smart Cable from the drop-down menu. This brings up the Smart
Cable Welcome screen.
7.
Retrieve the PCM broadcast code by using either of two methods:
^
To retrieve the code with the Smart Cable, go to step 8.
^
To retrieve the code with the PGM Tester, go to step 14.
8.
From the Smart Cable Welcome screen, click on Get ID. The message Smart Cable is programmed to get ID appears.
9.
Disconnect the Smart Cable from the DCS workstation, then take it to the vehicle. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and connect the Smart
Cable to the vehicle's DLC.
10.
When the green and yellow lights on the Smart Cable glow steadily, disconnect it from the DLC.
11.
Reconnect the Smart Cable to the DCS workstation (steps 2 thru 4 above).
12.
From the Smart Cable Welcome screen, click on View ID. The broadcast code needed for the PCM is highlighted.
13.
Click on the highlighted broadcast code, and follow the instructions to reprogram the Smart Cable with the broadcast code needed for the PCM
update. When the Smart Cable has been reprogrammed, go to step 21.
14.
Connect the PGM Tester to the vehicle DLC, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
15.
From the System Select menu, press 1: Engine.
16.
From the Test Mode menu, press 6: MISC TEST.
17.
From the MISC TEST menu, press 6: BROADCAST CODE.
18.
Write down the 4-digit broadcast code: you'll need it to reprogram the Smart Cable.
