Note: Global Diagnostic System (GDS) users should access the "Notice" function from the GDS Main Screen for instructions regarding ECU upgrade events.
If
attempting to perform the PCM upgrade with the power supply cable disconnected
from the GDS tool, be sure to check that the GDS tool
is fully charged before PCM upgrade. If the GDS tool is not fully charged,
failure to perform the PCM upgrade may occur. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended that the power supply connector be connected to the GDS tool.
