Manually Entering Variant Code Into MoDiC



Manually Entering Variant Code Into MoDiC

This method is required if the control module is detective and can not communicate with the MoDiC over the diagnostic link. The variant code is determined by noting the label on the defective control module and double checking it with the published variant codes in SI Bulletin 13 02 90 (3009).

Procedure For Manually Entering Variant Code
Follow steps 1 through 9 starting on page 5 and continue below.

10. Select "2 Enter Code Manually" and press the enter button.

11. Turn the ignition off and remove the old control module. Install the new control module and turn the ignition back on.
12. Determine the variant code by referencing the label on the old control module and SI Bulletin 13 02 90 (3009).

13. Carefully enter the code using the MoDiC keypad. To enter a letter use the up and down arrow keys.
When the code is correctly displayed on screen, press the Y button to confirm the entry.

14. The MoDiC will display the remaining number of times the control module can be encoded. Press the Y button to transfer the code.

15. Coding is complete. The MoDiC displays the installed variant code. It the code is displayed as FF01 (basic control module code) the coding procedure must be repeated.

16. Complete a new DME variant code label (P/N 01 39 9 781 959) and place it on the control module.

The coding procedure is complete!
