DESCRIPTION

This document provides instructions for the programming changes that will be needed when performing an S13 engine swap.
S13 ENGINE SWAP STEPS (RELATED TO PROGRAMMING)

Requirements:

1. Internet connection

2. Interface cable (Nexiq USB Link 2, Nexiq USB Link 3, Noregon DLA+ 2.0, or Noregon DLA+ 3.0. Other RP1210 compliant

communication cables might work. However, issues associated with programming done through other cables cannot be

supported. We recommend using one of the 3 previously mentioned cables.)

NOTE: The new ECM on the engine received will remain on the new engine and will be used. Do not swap the old ECM from

the previous engine to the new one.
Steps to perform after the engine has been replaced:

1. Open Service Diagnostic Solutions (SDS)

If not installed, it can be downloaded HERE

2. Log into SDS with International user ID (for example, dy12345) and password

3. After engine installation is complete, update Engine Serial Number parameter in ECM with updated serial number for new

engine (see instructions on this procedure below).

4. After ESN update is complete perform the SDS procedures listed below:

1. (ECM) Reset: Injector Adaptation Procedure (see software instructions below)

2. (ECM) Reset: Crankcase Breather Oil Separator Adaptation (see software instructions below)
3. (ECM) Reset: Intake and Exhaust Pressure Sensors Adaptation (see software instructions below)

4. (TCM) Reset: Clutch System Part Replacement (see software instructions below)

5. (TCM) Reset: Clutch Adaptation (see software instructions below)

5. Using Case File, update the International Tech Services team with the new Engine Serial Number.

6. Click Menu-->Collect Health Report; select In Process

Hint: Use Search box to find items as needed
7. Confirm Miles / Hours / Fuel show correctly in SDS. If any of them are incorrect, update the case with correct values so

Tech Services can adjust them accordingly.
