General Functions

The general functions of WinKFPT are divided up into the following groups:

· Special Functions

· Diagnosis Functions

You select a group by clicking one of the following function buttons or pressing the corresponding
function key on the keyboard:

· "Special"

· "Diagnosis"

Fig.: Function menu with the function buttons "Special" and "Diagnosis"

Since calling a general function always involves communicating with an ECU, a minimum amount of
job data must have been entered in the active operating mode of WinKFPT.

The function buttons for the general functions are only displayed:

· once programming settings phase Level 1 or 2 of Expert mode has been completed and at least one
PABD, P-SGBD and ECU address (ECU address only if the P-SGBD uses an external address) have
been selected/entered (see “ Functions of Programming Settings Phase Level 1 in Expert Mode” and “
Functions of Programming Settings Phase Level 2 in Expert Mode”).

· once the programming settings phase of Comfort mode has been completed and a ZUSB number and
ECU address/integration position have been selected/entered by means of one of the following

General Functions Page 2 of 14

functions: "Enter ZUSB", "Choose ZUSB" or "Update ZUSB" (see “7.1 Functions of the
Programming Settings Phase in Comfort Mode”).

Special Functions

· Click the "Write Calib." button.

The calibration values are read out of the temporary file and written to the ECU.

A message confirming that the data has been successfully transferred is then displayed.

You close the submenu for calibration values either by clicking the "Done" button
