Wireless Ignition Node and ELV/ESCL - Module Programming

PROGRAMMING THE WIN AND ELV/ESCL

CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with the optional export premium Vehicle Theft System, when either the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) or the shaft lock module (also known as Elektrische Lenksäulen Verriegelung (ELV) or Electric Steering Column Lock (ESCL) is replaced with a new unit, the existing WIN or ELV/ESCL MUST also be replaced with a new unit. In other words, any time either the WIN or the ELV/ESCL is replaced with a new unit, BOTH the WIN and the ELV/ESCL MUST be replaced with new units, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Following replacement of BOTH the WIN and ELV/ESCL, the two modules MUST be initialized using diagnostic scan tool routines in the EXACT SEQUENCE that follows. Failure to follow this sequence may result in BOTH the new WIN and the new ELV/ESCL being rendered unusable, requiring BOTH units to be replaced a second time.

1. After both the WIN and the ELV/ESCL have been replaced with new units, connect the diagnostic scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) and turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position.
2. Navigate to the WIN in the ECU View of the diagnostic scan tool.
3. Run the WIN Replaced routine found under the Miscellaneous Functions menu item of the scan tool.
4. Turn the ignition to the OFF position, wait 30 seconds, then cycle the ignition back to the ON position.
5. Use the scan tool to program the ignition key(s) to the WIN. SKIS Initialization
6. Turn the ignition ON position.
7. Run the ELV/ESCL replaced routine, also found under the Miscellaneous Functions menu item of the WIN in the ECU View of the diagnostic scan tool.
8. Turn the ignition to the OFF position, wait 30 seconds, then cycle the key back to the ON position.
9. Verify that the ELV/ESCL locks the steering column when the key is removed from the ignition or vehicle, and unlocks the steering column when the key is inserted into the ignition.
