Installing the software

Step-by-step instructions for installing the ECOM software are given below. Follow the

installation.

you wish to uninstall the old version. Answer Yes (see Fig. 2). The uninstall
process may take a few minutes to complete.

Installing the VCI

When the ECOM software has been installed, the next step is to install your VCI (Vehicle
Communication Interface). You can install it on one or more USB ports, to suit your
requirements. You may have to repeat point 1-2 for each USB port.

According to the licence agreement, the VCI must be returned to Scania CV AB when the
licence agreement expires. If the VCI is lost or damaged, this must be reported
immediately to the person responsible at Scania according to the contact list on page 13.

1. Connect the USB connector from the VCI to a free USB port on your computer (see
Fig. 13).

Fig. 13

2. When the USB contact is connected, Windows 2000 senses this automatically and
the Found New Hardware opens (see Fig. 14). In Windows XP the guide for New
Hardware opens and you just click Next > (see Fig. 15). Windows then
automatically installs the drivers for the VCI.

Installing the USB key

The USB key is your personal password which allows you to run ECOM. Without it you
cannot use ECOM.

Note: Remember that you are personally responsible for ensuring that your USB key
does not fall into the wrong hands, and that it is not copied or otherwise misused. Scania
CV AB may claim damages from the registered user of a USB key in the event of
negligence as described above. For further information, see the licence agreement.

According to the licence agreement, the USB key must be returned to Scania CV AB
when the licence agreement expires. If the USB key is lost or damaged, this must be
reported immediately to the person responsible at Scania according to the contact list on
page 13.

1. Connect the USB key to a free USB port on your PC (see Fig. 16).

Fig. 16

2. Windows detects the USB key and installs it automatically. In Windows 2000 the
Found New Hardware may open (see Fig. 17).

Problem guide
Here are some things you can try if you cannot start ECOM. If nothing works, please
contact your support agent at Scania.

Check that the control unit has power supply.

Check that the VCI has power supply.

Check that CAN (High and Low) are properly connected.

Pull out the USB connection of the VCI and unplug the USB key from your PC. Wait
10-15 seconds, then plug in the VCI, and then the USB key. This causes Windows
to reload the drivers for these devices.

Restart the computer.
