B.U.D.S. > User Interface > Utilities

Description

The ECM stores received data in its volatile memory first. In other words, if power is disconnected from the ECM immediatly after you sent new data, then it would be lost. To force the ECM to store received data in its non-volatile memory, you must initiate the so called "ECM tracking" procedure.

To initiate the ECM tracking procedure

Whenever you send new data to the ECM, B.U.D.S. displays the ECM Tracking message. When you see this message then:

1.	Remove the key from the vehicle DESS® post.

2.	Wait until the ECM Tracking message disappears from the screen.

To postpone the ECM tracking procedure

1.	Press the Ignore button.

2.	When you will close the document or quit the application, then B.U.D.S. will remind you to initiate the ECM Tracking procedure.
