Safety Warning
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.
Software Service Station
The Software Service Station (SSS) was released to all centers for the sole purpose of Coding and Programming vehicles that can only be Coded/Programmed using CIP. The SSS is a dedicated desktop PC, that supplements the DISplus and GT1 diagnostic systems, since the SSS is only capable of performing Coding and Programming it frees up the DISplus and GT1 for diagnostic functions.
With the release of CIP 15.0 and the implementation of Progman, the SSS replaces the DISplus and GT1 (Group Tester One) diagnosis systems as the primary programming system. The DISplus and GT1 will only be able to send a request to Program or Code a vehicle directly through the SSS. The SSS performs the actual programming and coding process. In this configuration the SSS is able to program up to five vehicles at a time and the DISplus and GT1 are free to be used for other tasks, provided that all devices are connected to the workshop network and have been assigned specific IP addresses.
As with the DISplus and GT1, data is supplied to the Software Service Station by means of a CIP DVD-ROM or CD-ROM, additional data can also be provided by online updates via JETStream.
