SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (SPS)
The procedure to program the control unit by using the
Service Programming System (SPS) software contained
in TIS2000 is ex plained below.
NOTE:
If the Engine Control Module (ECM) was
programmed, the Immobilizer System must be
linked to the ECM: Refer to section 11
“Immobilizer System-ECM replacement” for the
ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.
Should Tech2 display "SPS Procedure was not
successful", engine will not start, but no DTCs
are present, low battery voltage or poor electrical
connections should be the primary suspects.
Perform the SPS procedure again after rectifying
the fault/s.IMPORTANT:
Perform the following checks before attempting to
program the control unit:
The Tech2 PCMCIA card is programmed with The
latest software release.
The latest release of TIS2000 is loaded on the PC.
The vehicle battery is fully charged.
The control unit to be programmed is connected
to the vehicle.
1. Preparations of TIS 2000
1. Connect Tech 2 to P/C.
2. Check to see if Hardware Key is plugged into Port.
3. Activate TIS 2000 by P/C.
4. On the activating screen of TIS2000, choose
“Service Programming System”
5. On the screen of “Diagnostic Tester and Processing
Program Selection”, choose the one that will comply
with the following.
Tech-2 in use
New programming by the ex isting module or new
programming by the replaced/new module.
Fix ing position of the control unit.6. Upon completion of the selection, push the button of
“Nex t”.
