Use the 32MB blue reprogramming card that was sent to your dealer October 2004. Download the latest Hi-Scan Pro reprogramming software for the 32MB (blue label) reprogramming card from the Kia Service Information System (KSIS). The "Downloads" page is accessed by first logging onto KSIS, then by clicking on the "Downloads" link located in the left-hand navigation frame. Dealers can also order a CD (optional) by calling 866 KIA-TOOLS and ordering P/N 111220BC.

BEFORE STARTING THE PROCEDURE

Check the production date on the FMVSS door label to make sure that the vehicle is within the correct production range.

NOTE:

A fully charged battery is necessary before reprogramming can take place. DO NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during reprogramming. Make sure the blower motor is 'OFF' during programming.
All reprogramming must be done with the ignition key in the 'ON' position.
Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or Hi-Scan Pro during the reprogramming procedure.
DO NOT start the engine during reprogramming.
DO NOT turn the ignition key 'OFF' or interrupt the power supply during reprogramming.
When the reprogramming is completed, turn the ignition key 'OFF' and wait 20 seconds before starting the engine.
ONLY use approved reprogramming software designated for the correct model, year and engine size. Failure to do so may create other driveability issues due to the use of the incorrect ECM/PCM calibration.

AUTOMATIC REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Connect the DLC cable to the Hi-Scan Pro main body and tighten the 2 bolts securely.

Fig 1: Connecting DLC Cable To Hi-Scan Pro
Remove the current system software card from the Hi-Scan Pro and insert the 32MB blue label reprogramming software card with the ECU program into the Hi-Scan Pro top slot.
Plug the DLC cable from the Hi-Scan into the data link connector located under the dash on the driver's side as shown.
