Subject:
DIAGNOSTIC TESTER CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) INTERFACE MODULE

Over the next four model years, all Toyota vehicles will begin using an all new diagnostic communication protocol, Controller Area Network (CAN). CAN will be introduced on the 2004 Prius this fall. A CAN Interface Module has been distributed to all dealers as an essential Special Service Tool (SST) and will allow the Diagnostic Tester to communicate with CAN equipped vehicles. Please use the following instructions to install the new CAN Interface Module as soon as it arrives at your dealership.

NOTE:
- Version 10.2a or later Diagnostic Tester Software must be used to enable communication with CAN-equipped vehicles. Version 10.2a will be distributed to dealers via ETAS before CAN equipped vehicles arrive at dealers.
- There is no need to remove the CAN Interface Module when working with non CAN systems or older software versions (Version 10.1a or earlier). The Diagnostic Tester will communicate with all DLC3/J1962 based systems with the CAN Interface Module installed.

APPLICABLE VEHICLES: All Models







REQUIRED TOOLS & MATERIAL:







INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:


1. Remove the original DLC3 Cable and store it in the Diagnostic Tester storage case.
2. Connect the CAN Interface Module to the DLC Cable.
3. Use the Diagnostic Tester with the CAN Module installed for all DLC3/J1962 based vehicle communication.
4. If you experience problems with the Diagnostic Tester or CAN Interface Module, please contact Toyota Special Service Tool Customer Support at 1-800-933-8335.

NOTE:
- There is no need to remove the CAN Interface Module when working with non CAN systems or older software versions (Version 10.1a or earlier). The Diagnostic Tester will communicate with all DLC3/J1962 based systems with the CAN Interface Module installed.
- For DLC1 and DLC2 communication you must continue to use the Vehicle Interface Module (VIM)

Program Card Storage:
- Currently, program cards 10.1a or earlier can hold four calibrations.
- The new CAN calibrations are more then double the size of the current calibration.
- Due to the 2MB size of the CAN calibrations, version 10.2 will only allow two calibrations to be stored on the program card.

CUW and SUW Software Download:
- Version 10.2a or later Diagnostic Tester Software requires new SUW 2.0 and CUW 6.0 software. This software will also be available for downloading through ETAS prior to CAN-equipped vehicle arrival at dealers. Please follow TSB GI-03-005 for downloading Instructions.

NOTE:
- The new SUW 2.0 and CUW 6.0 use a DDL file that is shared with Techview. If Techview is installed after SUW 2.0 and CUW 6.0, this DLL file will be overwritten with older DLL file and SUW 2.0 and CUW 6.0 will fail to operate. The installation sequence of these applications are very critical, so please take care to follow the above instructions.
- CUW 2.0 and CUW 6.0 can be used for version 10.1a or earlier Diagnostic Tester Software.
