DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Control Panel/Module Coding: Notes
The IHKA control panel/module is coded with the central coding key (ZCS) using the DIS or MoDiC. The ZCS coding procedures is the same as on previous systems.
After coding a new or replacement control module, disconnect it from the battery completely (unplug the control module from the vehicle wiring harness) for a minimum of 10 seconds. This allows the new coding data to overwrite any previous coding data.
