Keypad Layout
The keypad of the TECH 2 contains 27 keys. W ithin these keys are 23 keys which are pre-defined and four keys
which are referred to as soft keys. The soft key usage will change depending on which part of an application is
being used. Following is a definition of the key usage for the pre-defined keys.
Soft Keys
There are four keys on the TECH 2 which will have changing usage within an application. Soft key functions are
software dr iven. This m eans that the sof t key function m ay change in different ar eas of the sof tware. The left mos t
soft key at the Main Menu will be used to Clear Vehicle, while in Snapshot the same key position may change
Units. The ability of the soft keys to perform different tool operations at different times increases the versatility of
the TECH 2.
Selection Keys
The arr ow keys are used for s creen m ovement to m ak e a selection. T here are four ar row keys. The Up and Down
arrows move the highlight bar one line at a time. If they are held, the highlight bar will scroll. The Left and Right
arrow keys will move the highlight a page at a time. Left arrow moves the highlight up (previous page) and Right
arrow moves the highlight down (next page). The arrow keys are used to move the highlight bar to a position to
make a selection, or to move the display to allow more information to be viewed.
Action Keys
There are a group of keys which are referred to as Action keys. As the name implies, action keys will make an
action take place on the TECH 2 tool. The action keys are YES, NO, ENTER, and EXIT.
YES — Confirms a positive response to a question.
NO — Confirms a negative response to a question.
ENTER (2 keys) — Indicates a selection has been made.
EXIT (2 keys) — Returns user to a previous menu selection.
Function Keys
The function keys (F0 - F9) allow direct selection of a choice from a menu.
Help Key
Help (?) accesses a tool help function which is specific to the current operation of the TECH 2.
Control Keys
There ar e two keys which are us ed to c ontrol the TECH 2 itself . These are the SHIF T and PWR ( Power) keys. The
SHIFT key will access screen contrast control. To adjust contrast during the current power cycle of the TECH 2,
use the following procedure.
Press the SHIFT key (The yellow light will turn on).
Use the Up arrow to Increase screen brightness and contrast or the Down arrow to Decrease screen brightness
and contrast.
Press the SHIFT key (the yellow light will turn off).
This procedure will only adjust the contrast for the duration of this power cycle of the TECH 2. If the power is turned
off and then back on again, the contr as t will change to a def ault value. The default setting is covered in the T ECH 2
User’s Guide.
Be aware that if the yellow SHIFT light is on, only the Up/Down arrow keys and the EXIT keys are active.
There is a PW R ( Power) switch for TECH 2 which will control turning the TECH 2 on and of f. A green indicator will
illuminate when the TECH 2 is switched on.
Thumb Action
The T ECH 2 is des igned for one handed oper ation. The unit is balanced to allow one hand to com fortably hold and
operate the tool. Straps on the sides of the tool are adjustable to help hold the TECH 2 in one hand. The keypad
configuration is designed for thumb usage while holding the tool in either the left or right hand. It is suggested to
use the select ion and action k eys instead of the f unction k eys as som e TECH 2 s creens require m ak ing selec tions
from a list on screen. In these cases there may not be a function key equivalent.
PCMCIA CARD

Legend:
1. PCMCIA Release Button 3. Empty Lower PCMCIA Slot 1 5. PCMCIA Cover
2. In Use Upper PCMCIA Slot 0 4. TECH 2 PCMCIA Card 6. Underneath Side of TECH 2
The TECH 2 uses a Personal Computer Mem ory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA) standard memory card for
storage of diagnostic functions and applications. The memory card has a capacity of 10 or 32 Megabytes. The
PCMCIA card is accessed through a door on top of the TECH 2, and should not norm ally require removal. There
are two PCMCIA s lots in TECH 2, s lot zero which is closes t to the s c reen and the s ec ond slot which is identif ied as
slot one. The card is ejected by pushing the arrow button pointing to card to be removed. Cards are notched to
allow insertion only one way. When re-inserting the card make sure that it fully seats into the TECH 2.
If you are using a 32 Megabyte PCMCIA c ard the c ard s hould be ins talled into s lot zero. If you are using 2 PCMCIA
cards, one in eac h slot, you can switch between cards by pressing the SHIFT key, then press either the RIGHT or
LEFT ar row k ey. T ECH 2 will then toggle between the card in s lot 1 to the car d in s lot 2. Onc e T ECH 2 has toggled
between cards, press the SHIFT key again.
The TECH 2 is capability of storing two snapshots. This will allow comparison of bef ore/after type conditions on a
vehicle being serviced.
NOTE: The PCMCIA card is sensitive to magnetism and static electricity so care should be taken in the
handling of the card.
A write protect slide mechanism is on the top edge of the card. The correct position is to the middle of the card
(unlocked). If the write protect is in the locked position, snapshots will not be able to be stored, and Service
Programming System (SPS) will not work.
TECH 2 and PCMCIA card can be updated by connecting to Technical Information System (TIS).
The software that operates the TECH 2 is stored on the PCMCIA card. The contents of the card are not distinct
applications. All of the applications share a single database of information on the PCMCIA card.
VEHICLE COMMUNICATION INTERFACE MODULE
The TECH 2 us es a Vehicle Comm unication Interfac e (VCI) module, located in the bottom of the unit to act as an
interfac e between the vehicle and the inter nal work ings of the T ECH 2. T his allows the T ECH 2 to com m unic ate to
many different types of data systems on vehicles.
Data is transmitted between the vehicle and the TECH 2 thr ough the DLC cable. Power f or the T ECH 2 is also sent
through the VCI module. Power can either come through the DLC cable or from the power jack on the bottom of
the VCI module. Internally, the VCI module protects the TECH 2 against reverse polarity power connections.
During norm al usage of the T ECH 2, there is no reas on to remove the VCI m odule. In the future, if dif ferent types
of data communication are used on the vehicle, the VCI module could be changed to extend the useful life of the
TECH 2 even further. To remove the VCI module, refer to the TECH 2 User's Guide.

1.2 CONNECTIONS
To use the TECH 2 (4), proper connections will need
to be made. T hese connections include power and the
DLC (1). Power for the TECH 2 normally comes from
the DLC. If no power is available at the DLC, or if using
the TECH 2 away from the vehicle, another source of
power should be used. On-vehicle power connection
may also come from the cigarette lighter adapter or
from the battery clip adapter. When using one of the
adapters (2), connect to the jack at the back of the
DLC cable (3) connection. The 12V adapters have
fuses in them to help protect the TECH 2 wiring.
The TECH 2 AC power adapter should NOT be used
while the TECH 2 is connected to a vehicle as data
errors may occur. Instead, the AC power adapter is
designed to be used while away from vehicle. The
TECH 2 will work between 8-20 volts and about 0.75
amps.
The TECH 2 will also at times be required to be
connected to a Personal Computer (PC) to
communicate with the Technical Information System
(TIS). This connection is made via the RS-232
communication port. A hardware key is required when
the Service Programming System (SPS) is being
utilised.

5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
On the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Models equipped with either a GEN III V8 engine or a V6 Non Supercharged
Engine, the PCM does not contain a removable PROM, it uses an EEPROM (Flash Memory) which is non
removable. The PCM is programmed from the factory with the proper calibrations for vehicle operation. In the event
that the PCM is replaced, or an updated calibration is required to correct a vehicle's operating condition, the PCM
will have to be program m ed with the new calibration. Progr am m ing is acc om plished through the vehic le DLC using
the TECH 2 Service Programming System (SPS) and TIS 2000.
A service replacement PCM will not be programmed. DTC P0601 indicates that the PCM is not programm ed and
DTC P0602 indic ates that pr ogramming has malf unctioned. F or further DTC infor mation and diagnostic procedures
refer to Section 6C1 POWERTRAIN MANAGEMENT V6 for V6 Non Supercharged Engines or Section 6C3-2
POWERTRAIN MANAGEMENT GEN III V8 for GEN III V8 Engines.
NOTE: If you are installing a new PCM ensure that the correct PCM is fitted to the vehicle. Refer to the
latest parts listing for part number identification.
The following T IS 2000 and TECH 2 screen displays will vary with different applications and versions of TIS 2000
and TECH 2 software.

5.2 SPS PROCESS
CAUTION: Before performing SPS inspect the
TECH 2 DLC cable and the DLC connector and
terminals for damage. Any damage that causes
an open circuit during the programming
procedure could result in irreparable damage to
the PCM.
Battery voltage must be between 12 and 14
volts. The vehicle to be programmed must not
be connected to a battery charger during the
programming procedure. Incorrect battery
voltage could cause programming failure
and/or PCM failure.
1. Connect DLC cable (3) to TECH 2 (4), DLC
adapter (2) to DLC cable (3) and then DLC
adapter to DLC (1).
Press the TECH 2 PWR button to turn on
