Section 1: Connect a battery charger and CONSULT-II to the vehicle.
1. Confirm the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.
• Set the charger at a low charge rate (2-amp “trickle charge”).

IMPORTANT
You must connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery when performing
ABS/VDC reprogramming. Permanent ABS/VDC damage can occur if you don’t.
Connecting a vehicle battery charger will maintain:
• Proper CONSULT-II power supply during reprogramming—very important if the
CONSULT-II battery is low.
• Vehicle battery voltage level—especially on late model vehicles where the
cooling fans come on during reprogramming.

3. Connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle using the DLC-II cable with black Converter Box
(see Figure 11).
VERY IMPORTANT:
• Make sure the DLC-II is pushed in straight and fully plugged in to the vehicle
connector.
• Make sure all other DLC-II cable connections (as shown in Figure 11) are
connected properly.

• A reading above 12 volts confirms;

a. The DLC-II is properly connected to the vehicle,

b. The vehicle battery voltage is sufficient for ABS/VDC reprogramming, and

c. CONSULT-II has a sufficient power supply to perform ABS/VDC reprogramming.

• If the vehicle’s battery voltage (“Charger Input”) is below 12 volts, one or more of the
following may be the cause:

a. The battery charger you hooked up in section 1 is not charging the battery (poor
connection or it is not working).

b. The DLC-II does not have a good connection to the vehicle (not straight).

c. The DLC-II cable may have a malfunction (damaged wire or pins).

d. The CONSULT-II Converter (J44200-50 / black box) is not working correctly (see
Figure 11).

CAUTION:
• Do not attempt ABS/VDC reprogramming if the vehicle’s battery voltage is
below 12 volts.
• Permanent ABS/VDC damage can occur if the vehicle battery does not
maintain the minimum voltage during ABS/VDC reprogramming.

• If “Charger Input” is above 12 volts, power from the vehicle battery will keep
CONSULT-II’s power supply at the correct level during reprogramming
(see Figure 15).
