The following listed procedure is only to be used in the unexpected case that a SPS interruption takes place! In this case contact the ETAC.
For A/Z17DTx: Program Engine Control Unit by use of TECH2 Remote way as follows:
a.) pull data from ECU with TECH2
b.) connect TECH2 to your PC/Laptop and download new software via TIS2Web SPS Programming function
c.) connect TECH2 to vehicle and and program ECU with new data
If still failing please try again in J2534 TECH 2 PASS THRU mode, e.g. TECH 2 device including CANDI-Module must be connected between the PC/Laptop and the vehicle.
Detailed explanation for both methods can be found in TIS2Web Help section under "Applications/Service Programming Systems".
Attention: It is urgently recommended to only use a hard-wire connection between PC/Laptop and TIS2Web instead of a wireless LAN connection during the ECU programming procedure!
