Reprogramming procedure

  1. Check that the VIP software has the correct program version; in TIS2000, which accompanies all software updates.
  2. Update the ICM 3 VIP software as necessary. It is updated in the exact same manner as SPS programming for other control modules.
  3. Request control module data. Select "ICM" in the Tech 2 menu for updating the OCP software.
  4. Load the software from TIS2000, which in this case is just a "start file" which triggers ICM 3 to start the update from the CD. Note that the unit will be updated in different ways depending on the update that has been selected.
  5. Read and note down the information in the window "Special instructions for the control unit". Note in particular which version of the CD "TIS2000 ICM3" it is that shall be used in the car's DVD player. different CDs should be used depending on the model year.

    NOTE: Personal data and AVR language
    The memory is divided into several partitions. The memory partitions enable customer settings, such as telephone and address book, to be saved for future reprogramming. Customer settings can be saved by selecting "retain personal data" in TIS 2000. If the customer settings are to be deleted, e.g. when the car changes owner, then the OCP software can be reprogrammed. Select the "clear personal data" option to delete customer settings. The "AVR language" option should be used when changing language for the advanced voice control. The car is always delivered with UK English for AVR.
  6. Load the CD "TIS2000 ICM3" in the car's DVD player. Use the CD version indicated in step  3 .
  7. Select "Program ECU" in Tech 2. ICM 3 restarts and begins to load the software from the CD in the DVD player. The whole updating process is displayed on the ICM 3 unit's screen.
  8. The programming process is as follows (takes approx. 8 min):
    1. 8.1. The ICM 3 screen goes blank when it restarts
    2. 8.2. A special window with a command prompt opens
    3. 8.3. A status indicator is shown, indicating "Reading Image"
    4. 8.4. "Checking CRC" is displayed, followed by "OK"
    5. 8.5. The text "Upgrading image:..." is displayed
    6. 8.6. A status indicator is shown, indicating "Erasing FLASH"
    7. 8.7. A new status indicator is shown, indicating "Writing FLASH"
    8. 8.8. A new status indicator is shown, indicating "Verifying FLASH"
    9. 8.9. The programming procedure is complete once the "Verify" process is finished.
      NOTE: Steps 8.3 - 8.9 will be repeated once or several times depending on the type of updating carried out. For each repetition one partition is updated. The partition "Application and Language" is largest and takes approx. 85 % of the total time.
    10. 8.10. ICM 3 is restarted again and Tech 2 completes programming.
    11. 8.11. Tech 2 shows "Programming was Successful".
