At module programming you are able to conduct followings:

– Programmable Module Installation: You are able to transfer the setting data from the old module to new module when you replace modules.

– Module Programming: You are able to update the module with the latest calibrations.

– Programmable Parameters: You are able to modify the module settings according to customers’ requests or model spec changes. (e.g. Auto Light Illumination Level Setting, Customized Function Setting Procedure of Advanced Keyless, changing Tire Size, etc.)

 

* To conduct Module Programming, the vehicle must be identified correctly. (Refer to Vehicle Identification.) Information collected during vehicle identification is essential for you to provide service using IDS. IDS reads out setting data from all the modules automatically during vehicle identification and these data are stored in IDS.

 

Basic Operation

1.Click the “Toolbox tab” on the upper left of the screen to show Diagnostic Function menus. Select “Module Programming” and click

2.Slect an operation that you desire to conduct to show modules and systems available based on vehicle data stored in IDS. Select a module or system and click

3.Follow the instructions on the screen. Instructions may vary depending on functions.

4.So exit from Module Programming during a session, click the “Menu Icon” on the upper right of the screen to open a pop-up window. Select “Exit or Abort” and click

 

 

Update Warning

If you have not updated your IDS via the Internet for more than 9 days, you may see “The module configuration and programming database may be out of date” (as shown on the right) when you select Module Programming. This warning appears automatically to encourage you to conduct module programming with the latest diagnostic software.

To proceed:

1.Make sure your PC is hooked to the Internet and click

2.IDS will search latest update available. If it is available, the warning window (as shown on the right) will appear.Click to proceed.

You can proceed the module programming work without updating at this time, but Mazda recommends that you abort the work and update your IDS first for Fix it Right First Time.

Note:

If IDS does not connect to the Internet, you will encounter the warning window (as shown on the right) after the step (a) above. Connect IDS to the Internet and click

If you have not updated your IDS via the Internet for more than 31 days, you will see the warning window (as shown on the right) when you select Module Programming.

In this case you will not be able to perform any module programming work until your IDS is updated to the latest level via the Internet.

 

Configuration (Programmable Module Installation)

You need to configure modules that need to be configured at the time of replacement. If you do not configure applicable modules, those modules do not function properly.

* Refer to your workshop manuals for modules that need to be configured.

 

 

Select “Programmable Module Installation” from Module Programming Menu to show modules on the vehicle that have setting data necessary to be transferred from the old module to new one. Select a applicable module and click

 

Modules shown on the menu may be different from actual modules on the vehicle depending on settings, such as option settings and specification settings. In such a case, refer to your workshop manuals for actual modules that need to be configured.

 

Instructions, such as “Set ignition switch to ON”, “Set ignition switch to OFF” or “Install a new module in vehicle”, will be shown on the screen continuously.

Make sure you follow all the instructions correctly. Do not remove modules or do not turn the ignition key on / off unless IDS instructs you to do so. If you conduct some operations that IDS dose not instruct, modules may be programmed improperly or modules may be damaged in the worst case.

 

If IDS is not able to communicate with the modules due to problems with the old module, problems of the harness on the vehicle or any other problems, As-Built Data will be required. Execute (a) and (b) described on the next page.

 

On modules that need to be configured, configuration data are written according to vehicle specifications at the time of factory shipment. These data are stored semi-permanently in Mazda database together with vehicle identification numbers. These data are called “As-Built Data”. If IDS is not able to communicate with the modules due to problems with the old module, problems of the harness on the vehicle or any other problems and if the old is lost or disposed, you need to enter these As-Built Data.

 

On the As-Built Data sheet, all the As-Built Data for modules that need to be configured are listed.

Obtain As-Built Data sheet from appropriate website. You will be asked to enter the VIN (vehicle identification number).

Enter applicable data out of the As-Built Data sheet on IDS screen.

 

After all the procedures, a screen of “Configuration Complete” appears. Return to Module Programming Menu to complete configuration.

 

Mazda IDS Modules Reprogramming

You do not need to remove modules to reprogram them since reprogramming is executed via communication network. Do not execute Module Reprogramming without our Service Information.

1. Select “Module Reprogramming” on the Module Programming Menu to show all the reprogrammable modules. Select a module and click .
2. Follow instructions on the screen.

 

If the module has the latest calibration, a message telling this appears on the screen. In this case, you do not need to proceed further.

If there is a new calibaration for the module, a message asking if you want to reprogram the module appears. Select “Yes” to reprogram. If you select “No”, reprogramming will not be performed.

You may see the screen at the right when you conduct reprogramming after updating IDS with DIF and calibration files. This happens because necessary calibration files are not loaded in the laptop PC. Connect the laptop PC to the internet and click 1 to load necessary Calibration files via the Internet.

If you have latest VCM DVD

*If a message saying “The Diagnostic Tester Needs Update” during reprogramming procedures even though a message saying “A later calibration is available.” is shown, Calibration files may not be loaded at the time of VCM software installation. In this case, load Calibration files on Dash Panel by inserting the VCM DVD on DVD-ROM drive.

You may see a screen asking if a PATS (Immobilizer) is equipped on the vehicle during reprogramming. Select whichever applies. On Mazdas, Reprogramming will be executed correctly even though you make wrong selection.

After reprogramming, follow instruction on the screen. Service code deletion process will start.
