5. Save the bin file in the new WinTec software version (give it a new name).
6. Download the new file into your
TECgt
ECU as you normally would.
Following this step-by-step procedure should keep everything straightforward during the upgrade
process.
Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Care must be taken when installing different firmware versions on your
TECgt
ECU. Follow the
steps outlined below:
1. Download the Firmware upgrade from the Electromotive website.
2. Install the firmware upgrade on the PC that you will use to tune the engine.
3. Connect the
TECgt
to the PC serial port and power it ON.
4. Startup the WinTec software, it should show in the System console that the unit was found and
display the firmware version.
5. Turn-OFF power to the TEC unit.
6. Insert a small screwdriver or equivalent into the hole in the back plate next to the serial port and
press the button behind it. You may need to disconnect the serial cable to do this.
7. While pressing this button, power ON the TEC. The top LED should light RED and the bottom
LED should be GREEN. If this does not occur, try again. Once the LED lights RED, you may
remove the screwdriver and re-connect the serial cable.
8. Now that the TEC is in upgrade mode, click on Tools > Options > firmware upgrade. A
warning and some instructions will appear. Click OK, and an open dialog will display. Find
and select the new ( .em3 ) file you have downloaded.
9. Once the upgrade is complete, cycle the power to the TEC. If the firmware upgrade was
successful, both LED’s will go GREEN. If the firmware upgrade failed, the top LED will stay
RED and the bottom will stay off. If this occurs, start the procedure over at step 5.
10. The firmware is now upgraded, you can begin/continue tuning.
