WIN INITIALIZATION - EXPORT WITH COLUMN LOCK MODULE

CAUTION:
On vehicles equipped with the optional export premium Vehicle Theft System, when either the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) or the shaft lock module (also known as Elektrische Lenks�ulenverriegelung/ELV or electric steering column lock) is replaced with a new unit, the existing WIN or ELV MUST also be replaced with a new unit. In other words, any time either the WIN or the ELV is replaced with a new unit, BOTH the WIN and the ELV MUST be replaced with new units, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Following replacement of BOTH the WIN and the column lock module/ELV, the two modules MUST be initialized using diagnostic scan tool routines in the EXACT SEQUENCE that follows. Failure to follow this sequence may result in BOTH the new WIN and the new ELV being rendered unusable, requiring BOTH units to be replaced a second time.

1. After both the WIN and the ELV have been replaced with new units, connect the diagnostic scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) and turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position.

2. Navigate to the WIN in the ECU View of the diagnostic scan tool.

3. Run the WIN Replaced routine found under the Miscellaneous Functions menu item of the scan tool.

4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, wait 30 seconds, then cycle the key back to the ON/RUN position.

5. Use the diagnostic scan tool to program the ignition key(s) to the WIN. Programming Ignition Keys To The WIN.

6. Run the ELV Replaced routine, also found under the Miscellaneous Functions menu item of the WIN in the ECU View of the diagnostic scan tool.

7. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, wait 30 seconds, then cycle the key back to the ON/RUN position.

8. Verify that the ELV locks the steering column when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder, and unlocks the steering column when the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder.
