INTRODUCTION
This document is to be used as a training supple-
ment to your
shop manual
and
service school ma-
terials
. This document will offer you the newest
and latest specifications to properly care for and
use your MPEM Programmer and vehicle electri-
cal system.
Understanding the MPEM Programmer and its
options includes knowing the terms and abbrevia-
tions that will be used in the programmer or in the
written instructions.

MPEM
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS OF
PROGRAMMER
The basic function of the programmer is to open
the record option of the snowmobile MPEM
memory.
This programmer version is V2.1D.
• Programmer kit P/N: 295 000 127
• It operates on 4 AA Alkaline batteries. The ap-
proximate battery life is 10 hours of continuous
use.
• The LCD display features 4 lines with 16 char-
acters each.
• Splash proof (not waterproof).
• Twenty key touch pad.
• Internal clock with Day, Month, Year, powered
by 10 year lithium battery.
• Re-configurable internal memory (48 kilobytes).
• Boot memory ROM (read only memory) (8 kilo-
bytes).
• RAM memory (random access memory) (2 kilo-
bytes).
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean pro-
grammer.
DESCRIPTION OF DESS SYSTEM
The DESS (Digitally Encoded Security System) is
a deterrent against theft. Factory programmed,
the tether cord provided with snowmobile is the
only one that allows engine to turn more than
2500 RPM. If a wrong tether cord is installed the
engine will start but will not reach engagement
speed required to move vehicle.
Each tether cord has a small magnet as well as a
small micro chip molded into the rubber cap. The
magnet will close a primary circuit in the electrical
system. This completes the circuit and allows the
MPEM to read the electronic number in the tether
cord when engine is started.
NOTE: We do not program the tether cord! we
record the tether cord electronic number into the
MPEM memory.
However, for the sake of clarity, we will refer
to”key programming” or “tether cord program-
ming” in the following technical information. Each
tether cord has its own electronic number.
The MPEM also handles data input such as; cus-
tomer name, delivery date as well as records the
hours of vehicle operation.
After engine is started 2 beeps confirm that the
MPEM has recognized the tether cord. The vehi-
cle can be driven normally.
Every 3 seconds and DESS pilot lamp blinking at
same rate mean that a bad connection has been
detected. Vehicle can not be driven.
-CAUTION
Never use abrasives or solvents such as ac-
etone or fuel to clean the programmer dis-
play or touch pad.

MPEM PROGRAMMER GUIDE
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS OF PROGRAMMER
MPEM – 7
MPEM
KEY PAD
The key pad is sub-divided into 2 main areas; the
control key area and the data entry area.
1. Control key area
2. Data entry area
CONTROL KEYS
When using this key, it activates the pro-
grammer to the ON mode. This function
quickly transfers to the PASSWORD
screen.
The OFF button will shut off the program-
mer and close any operating program.
NOTE: Prior to pressing the OFF key, it is strongly
recommended to go back to the main menu. This
will warn you of any unfinished commands.
When pressing this button from a sec-
ondary display or a sub menu you will go
to the previous menu.
This key will offer assistance to whatever
menu option the cursor is directed to.
NOTE: When pressing this key while the pro-
grammer is waiting for a password, it will display
the Bombardier support phone and fax numbers
for the US, Canada and International. Refer to the
last page of document.
You will also see the required information should
you need another password.
When these keys are touched the cursor
will move up or down. When more than
4 items are listed this will allow you to
see them. This will only work for option
selections.
When this key is touched the cursor will
move left or right, this will be used to se-
lect YES or NO.
This is used when entering data, when
touching this key, the cursor will move
left erasing the character to the left of the
cursor.
0to 9These keys are multi-functional, the first
touch will be the number, the second
touch will be the first letter, the third
touch will be the next letter until all let-
ters are seen. The key then returns to the
numbers once again.
If a second letter or number is needed from the
same key, touch çè to move the cursor, then add
the next character.
• The dot key will add a dot (.) when enter-
ing data.
COMMUNICATION CABLE
One communication cable; 2 functions (cable is avail-
able separately P/N 278 0010 52):
– Updating function, to be used when updating
programmer with personal computer.
– MPEM function, to be used to communicate
from programmer to MPEM in snowmobile.
The MPEM programmer reads information in the
MPEM, then information can be modified by the
programmer‘s operator and transfered to the
MPEM.
This basic operation is true for most functions ex-
plained in this text.
