A. Reprogram the ORC Using WiTECH

NOTE:
The 2007 model year Occupant Restraint Controller module (ORC) is not "abort - recovery" supported. If the flash fails or is aborted the ORC must be replaced. It is recommended that the WiPOD VCI devise be connected via USB cable to the Personal Computer (PC) to provide the most reliable network connection.

1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.2 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger voltmeter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

2. Connect the wiPOD to the vehicle data link connector.

3. Place the ignition key in the "RUN" position.

4. Launch the wiTECH diagnostic application.

5. Select "ORC" from the vehicle view screen.

6. Select the "FLASH" tab.

7. Select the flash file from the list.

8. Select the "UPDATE ECU" button and follow the screen prompts.

NOTE:
On 2007 model year vehicles, if the flash was interrupted or failed the ORC module must be replaced. Continue to Section C. ORC Module Replacement.

9. Clear all DTC's.

NOTE:
Due to the ORC programming procedure, DTC(s) may be set in other modules (PCM, TCM, ABS, BCM, MIC, WCM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so equipped. Some DTC's may cause the MIL to illuminate.

10. Place the ignition in the "OFF" position, remove the wiPOD from the data link connector and disconnect the battery charger.
