How to Use ALicar ACT V2 Tool for BSI Module Reset and Mileage Adjustment

The ACT V2 tool is a powerful diagnostic device designed to help technicians and car enthusiasts modify and reset data in the BSI (Body Control Module) of vehicles. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of using the ACT V2 tool to reset mileage, manage PINs, and perform other essential BSI-related tasks.

Understanding the BSI Module

The BSI module is a critical component in modern vehicles, responsible for managing various electronic systems. It stores vital information such as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), mileage, and error codes. When replacing or reprogramming the BSI, it’s essential to use the right tools and follow proper procedures to avoid errors or system malfunctions.

Using ACT V2 Tool to Mileage Adjustment Step By Step

One of the most common uses of the ACT V2 tool is to adjust the mileage stored in the BSI module. Below is a detailed guide on how to perform this task:

1. Reading and Converting Mileage Data

• HEX Conversion:

  • Start by converting the desired mileage into a hexadecimal (HEX) format.
  • For example, if the mileage is 88,456 km, convert it to HEX:

    									
    
    										
    										
    
    											
    											
    
    												ini 
    												
    
    													
    													
    
    														 
    														
    
    															
    									
    														
     
    														
    
    															
    									
    														
    
    													
    
    												
    
    											
    
    											
    
    												
    												
    
    													88456 in DEC = D7F56 in HEX  
    												
    
    											
    
    										
    
    									
    

  • Reverse the HEX string for easier processing:

    									
    
    										
    										
    
    											
    											
    
    												r 
    												
    
    													
    													
    
    														 
    														
    
    															
    									
    														
     
    														
    
    															
    									
    														
    
    													
    
    												
    
    											
    
    											
    
    												
    												
    
    													D7F56 → 56 7F D7  
    												
    
    											
    
    										
    
    									
    

• Waveform Analysis:

  • The ACT V2 programming tool allows you to analyze waveforms to locate the correct data string in the BSI module.
  • Some machines may struggle to identify the waveform due to the complexity of the BSI module.

2. Locating and Modifying Mileage Data

• Search for HEX String:

  • Use the ACT V2 tool to search for the calculated HEX string (56 7F D7) in the BSI data.
  • Once located, you can modify the mileage value.

• Adjusting Mileage:

  • Enter the new mileage value and save the changes.
  • The tool will automatically update the BSI module with the new data.

3. Resetting Progress Bar and Tables

• After modifying the mileage data, reset the progress bar or update the relevant tables to ensure the new values are correctly synchronized.

Managing PINs and VIN

1. Understanding PIN Management

• PIN Reset:

  • The ACT V2 tool allows you to reset the PIN associated with the BSI module.
  • This is useful when replacing or reprogramming the module.

• VIN Programming:

  • The tool supports programming the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the BSI module.
  • Enter the VIN code three times to ensure it is correctly stored.

2. History Zeroing

• Clearing DTC History:

  • Use the ACT V2 tool to clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and event history stored in the BSI module.
  • This ensures the module is reset to its default state.

• Preventing Read Errors:

  • Before performing any modifications, make sure to zero out the history diary on FF to avoid read errors or empty DTC history.

Virgin BSI Preparation

When preparing a virgin BSI for installation, it’s crucial to ensure that no old data is retained. The ACT V2 tool helps you clean and prepare the module for use in a new system.

Steps for Virgin BSI Preparation

1. VIN Programming:

   • Program the VIN code into the BSI module using the ACT V2 tool.

2. Mileage Adjustment:

   • Set the mileage to the desired value using the methods described above.

3. History Clearing:

   • Clear all event history and DTCs to ensure the BSI is ready for use.

4. PIN Management:

   • Reset or set a new PIN to secure the module.
