Nissan Airbag Sensor Unit & OCS Control Unit Reprogram by Bosch MTS6513

This is a guide on how to use Bosch MTS6513 to reprogram Nissan Campaign R1608.This procedure is an alternative method to perform reprogramming for campaign R1608. The primary reprograming method is using CONSULT-III plus. DO NOT perform the steps in the following pages if the procedures using CONSULT-III plus have already been performed.

 

BOSCH MTS 6513 Airbag Diagnostic Sensor Unit Reprogram and OCS Control Unit Reprogram

NOTE: Screens on the BOSCH MTS 6513 indicate ACU. This stands for Airbag Control Unit, which is the same as Airbag Diagnostic Sensor Unit.

1.Open the engine hood and connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and set it to ECM power supply mode.

CAUTION:

Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and select ECM Power Supply Mode. If the vehicle battery voltage goes below 12.0V or above 15.5V during reprogramming, the control unit may be damaged.

Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the control unit may be damaged.

2.Connect the BOSCH MTS 6513 to the vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC).

3.Wait for the BOSCH MTS 6513 to boot.

A beep will be heard.

A green light on the BOSCH MTS 6513 will indicate it is powered ON.

When boot-up is complete and the Start Screen (see Figure A2) is displayed, the BOSCH MTS 6513 is ready for reprogramming.

NOTE:

If the screen in Figure A2 does not display, the correct software has not been loaded into the BOSCH MTS 6513.

On screen instructions will help guide you through the reprogramming process.

4.Turn the hazards (4 way flashers) ON.
