5. BDM ECU Programmer

This function is intended for BDM reading of EDC16XX/MED9.XX ECU memory. In order to read the ECU
memory in BDM you will need ZN045 ABPROG programmer, ZN073 BDM adapter and an external power
supply for working on bench.

▯ Warning: Please adhere to the provided sequence of operations. Failure to do so may lead to unin-
tended consequences, the least of which is a bricked ECU.
▯ Note: The BDM Programmer requires the ECU to be removed from the vehicle, as the programming
needs to take place on a workbench.
▯ Тools needed: 12/24V power supply, soldering iron, double-row 1.27mm pitch PCB headers

Please ensure you follow the steps below when connecting or disconnecting the ECU:
1. Ensure both AVDI and the ECU are powered off.
2. Remove ECU from vehicle and open it on workbench.
3. Solder 14-pin header on BDM test points, as indicated in example picture (picture coming soon)

2021 Abrites Programmer User Manual

4. Connect the BDM adapter to the ECU using a ribbon cable. Warning: incorrect wiring may cause per-
manent damage to the adapter and/or the ECU.
5. Connect the BDM adapter(ZN073) to ABProg(ZN045).
6. Connect the ABProg(ZN045) to AVDI.
7. Connect AVDI to PC.
8. Power on AVDI.
Ensure orange LED on BDM adapter is ON
9. Power on the ECU – it should immediately enter Debug mode.
▯ Ensure green LED on BDM adapter is ON
10. Launch the Abrites programming software
11. Select the desired ECU memory from the software menu
12. Select desired operation (read/erase/program). Note: If you want to program the ECU, the selected
memory must first be erased
13. When finished, exit the user application
14. Power off the ECU
15. Power off AVDI and disconnect BDM adapter from target ECU

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not write anything in the first 8 bytes of the MPC processor shadow rows, unless
you are completely certain in what you do. The shadow rows contain censoring information, and fiddling
with it may lead to locking out the processor without possibility for unlocking.
