(BUDS)

A maintenance port is located beneath the instrument panel to the right of the center

console to accommodate the BUDS ECU 9 pin d-sub. See Figure.

BUDS is a ROTAX product designed to read and extract data from the 912iS ECU

(Engine Control Unit). The BUDS system utilizes BRP windows based software, and a

specific USB-to-CAN converter (dongle).

The converter, BUDS Set Level 2, P/N 864 022, is designed for trained and certified

mechanics and allows the user to reset faults.
