PROGRAMMING
Please wait
After a few seconds, a numeric counter begins with the percentage of the transmitted software. At the
end of transmission (when 100% is reached), Smarty will update the functional parameters of the ECM.
Typical programming time is two minutes. The following screen will appear:
Updating ECM
Please wait
During the updating session, Smarty can ask to Turn key OFF and Turn Key ON. Please follow these
instruction. DO NOT DISCONNECT Smarty before the updating session is completed.
At the end of the updating session, the following screen will appear:
UPDATE DONE
After a few seconds Smarty displays the following message:
Unplug Smarty
Please unplug Smarty from the diagnostic port and turn the key of for 15 seconds.
Recovery of the ECM
If an interruption occurs during an Update or the Update operation is terminated before the normal end
for any reason the ECM will not be operational. You must recover the ECM using Smarty to resume
the update process.
Attention! The engine will not start before the ECM has been recovered properly!
(The Wait to Start Light will flash continuously)
DON’T PANIC!
MADS
has developed a special boot loader software that is used during all the ECM Updates. Unlike
the OEM DRBIII tool, there is no need to pull fuses or disconnect the batteries! No tools are needed!
At
MADS
we’ve done our homework!
Just follow the directions on Smarty’s display.
Smarty will handle the situation for you in a few simple steps.
Unplug Smarty, then, plug it in again. After a few seconds the usual main menu will appear.
1=ECM/ABS Update
2=Read DTC codes
Press the ‘1’ key, and Smarty displays the following screen:
1=ECM Update
2=ABS Update
Press the ‘1’ key to select
ECM Update
.
Smarty will try to establish the communication with the ECM. The connection cannot be established
because the last updating session has been interrupted. Smarty knows that the last update has not been
performed correctly, and will recognise the not operational ECM condition.
Smarty asks you to switch off the ignition key:
Turn key OFF
Press ‘>’
