Programming a Personality Module Using Flash Programming
Operation of the engine following programming of the Personality Module is identical to operation following replacement of the Personality Module chip. The only difference is the software was already programmed in the chip for you when you replaced the chip, now you are actually performing the programming function.For example, if you are rerating an engine, you will still need factory passwords to change the Personality Module Code.1. Connect hardware as shown. 2. Start the LEXT3037 PC Program, or Flash from the Electronic Technician (ET) Service Tool.3. Select the engine Personality Module part number to be programmed into the ECM, and proceed with programming the Personality Module. The new ECM is shipped with a blank Personality Module.4. PC Program Personality Module Messages and their meanings are discussed in the following procedure. A new ECM has a blank (previously unprogrammed) Personality Module. A blank Personality Module will prompt you for all three of the following messages.The information contained in the "ECM Status" will be scrambled and meaningless if the module has not been previously programmed (this is normal).- Message - "The engine ID in the flash file does not match the engine ID in the ECM."- Meaning - The ECM has a Personality Module installed for a different engine. For example, the ECM has a 3176C Personality Module and you are attempting to program another Personality Module into it.- What you should do - Stop the transfer and access information about "ECM Status" under the "Electronic Control Module" menu. Ensure the file you are about to transfer is for the same engine it will be installed in.- Message - "The application ID in the flash file does not match the application ID in the ECM."- Meaning - The ECM has a Personality Module installed for a different application.- What you should do - Stop the transfer and access information about ECM Status under the Electronic Control Module menu. Make sure the file you are about to transfer is for the application.- Message - "The ECM ID in the flash file does not match the ECM ID in the ECM."- Meaning - The ECM is not for use in the 3176C application.- What you should do - Stop the transfer and access information about ECM Status in the Electronic Control Module menu. Ensure the ECM on the engine is for a 3176C application. If you access the ECM Status under the Electronic Control Module menu of the PC Program, but do not follow (or have not followed) this procedure by programming the Personality Module, you must turn the keyswitch to the OFF position, and then to the ON position before using an Electronic Service Tool. If you do not cycle the keyswitch after reading the ECM Status, the ECM will not communicate with your service tool or start the engine. Cycling the keyswitch is not necessary following successful programming of a Personality Module using the Flash Designer Program.5. Start the engine and check for
