in this subsection.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
IMPORTANT: Make sure all connections are
made and vehicle is powered up before starting
B.U.D.S. to allow proper communication between
the vehicle and B.U.D.S. software.
MPI-2 Connection Troubleshooting
MPI-2 Status Lights
The MPI-2 includes 2 status lights that indicate the
connection condition: USB and CAN. Both lights
must be GREEN for the MPI-2 to function prop-
erly. Otherwise, refer to the following charts.

PROCEDURES
MULTI-PURPOSE INTERFACE-2
(MPI-2)
The MPI-2 (Multi-Purpose Interface-2) in conjunc-
tion with the MPI-2 diagnostic cable is used with
B.U.D.S. software to communicate with the ECM
(engine control module) and other modules.
MPI-2 Power
The MPI-2 interface card uses the power from the
PC computer USB port.
Diagnostic Connector Location
The 6-pin diagnostic connector is located near the
coolant tank, stored in it's protective cap. To ac-
cess it, remove the LH access cover.
smr2014-026-001_a
DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR LOCATION
Connecting the PC to the Vehicle
1. Disconnect the 6-pin diagnostic connector from
its holder (protective cap).

2. Coolant tank overflow hose
3. Diagnostic connector
2. Connect one end of the MPI-2 DIAGNOSTIC CA-
BLE (P/N 710 000 851) to vehicle connector.

NOTE:An optional MALE-FEMALE EXTENSION SE-
RIAL CABLE (P/N DB9) available at electronic retail
outlets can be used between diagnostic cable and
MPI-2 interface. Do not exceed 7.6 m (25 ft).

CAUTION If the computer you are using is
connected to a power outlet, there is a poten-
tial risk of electric shock when working in con-
tact with water. Be careful not to touch water
while working with the computer.
5. Use B.U.D.S. software as described further in
B.U.D.S. SOFTWARE .
B.U.D.S. SOFTWARE
B.U.D.S. (BRP Utility and Diagnostic Software)
is designed to allow programming key(s) to the
vehicle, allow electrical and electronic component
monitoring, activation of certain components for
diagnostic purposes, and to carry out settings
changes.
Always use the latest applicable B.U.D.S. version
available on BOSSWeb.
How to Read the Electronic Control
Units Using B.U.D.S. Software
IMPORTANT: Ensure all connections have been
made before starting B.U.D.S. to allow proper
operation. Refer to
MPI-2 in this subsection.
1. Press the START button to wake up the electri-
cal system.
2. Install the tether cord on the engine cut-off
switch.
3. Start B.U.D.S. and logon.

Electronic Modules ECU Update
NOTICE Failure to strictly follow a procedure
to update a module may permanently damage
the module.
Whenever B.U.D.S. is started, check for an up-
date icon in the B.U.D.S. status bar.

If the icon is visible, it indicates that a file is avail-
able in B.U.D.S. to update at least one of the elec-
tronic modules.
NOTE: If an update file is available on BOSSWeb
but the B.U.D.S. software being used is not up
to date, the update icon will not appear. Refer to
the service bulletins to see if there is an update
available.
Use the Module submenu and check all modules
one at a time to see which module(s) can be up-
dated.
