Programming an Existing Control Module

To program an existing K4 Assist Step Control Module, perform the following procedure.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF. Ensure that the key fob is inside the vehicle an not moved for the duration of the programming to prevent an inadvertent power mode change during programming. If the key fob is not inside the vehicle, the serial data authentication configuration procedure which runs automatically at the end of the programming step will fail even though the programming appears to run successfully. If the serial data authentication configuration procedure fails, DTC U1962 will set and / or the setup step will fail or be incomplete.
    1. Disconnect Wi-Fi dongle from MDI 2. Install EL-52100 (MDI 2) using wired USB Connection from MDI 2 to computer / laptop. Using the EL-49755 (MDI) will result in a programming failure.
    2. Install an approved battery maintainer or power supply that provides a steady and stable voltage to support the 12V system during SPS programming events.
  2. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, under Select Controller, select K4 Assist Step Control Module.
  4. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, under Select Function / Sequence, select Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. At the end of programming, choose the "Clear DTCs" function on the SPS screen.
