Reboot the i-HDS, and start over. • To prevent control unit damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes, A/C, power windows, door locks, etc.) during the update. • Warranty reimbursement for technician labor is not allowed for routine checking/installation of any available software update. 1. Update the PGM-FI software using the J2534 Rewrite software with the DST-i. Refer to service bulletin 01-023, Updating Control Units/Modules.
