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.
