Using the Loader to Install new Software

All update files are .zip files and need to be decompressed before

installation. Once the files are decompressed, locate the Loader on

your computer and double-click the icon to start the program. You should

see a screen similar to the one at right.

The next step is to select the file you want to transmit to the Scan Tool.

Click on The file button and

locate the update file. You will

need to select “All Files” option

to see the file.

The next step is to configure

the communication options.

Make sure the communications

are set up as shown in this

example. Change the COM

port to match what you are

using on your computer.

At this point the file you

selected to transmit to the Scan Tool will be visible in the file window.

Press the install button.

The Loader will erase the

memory, then program

the unit. When the

“Programming Done” signal

appears on the screen,

you have successfully

reprogrammed the unit.

If a “Programming Failed” message appears, check your cables and

connection, and try again.
