This is the instructions for installing lithium diagnostic program onto your computer.

First this will require your own windows-based computer (preferably a laptop) and e-ride programming cables part# U5665A & U5666A. The program cable will plug into the black connector located just above the accelerator pedal. This type of connector is referred to as an OBDII connector. 

To install the program on your computer, follow these steps.


Note: Your computer must have administrative rights. As far as your computer is concerned, we are unable to assist in computer issues. You will need to figure out any issues you encounter on your own by either contacting your computer IT department or searching the web for answers. This program does require JAVA.

BMS will be used as short and stands for "battery management system".

In my case it says COM5. Yours may be different just depends on your computer and the usb port plugged in. Take and change CAN Baud-Rate: from 500 kBit/sec to 250 kBit/sec then click 


If you see this error when trying to connect

Issues can be:

Vehicle is not powered or plugged in.

Baud rate was incorrectly selected. 

BMS is not getting power from vehicles power supply or connection issue within vehicle from OBDII port to BMS which power to the BMS can be checked by accessing the BMS connector below the driver's seat.


Check power between pins #1 and #12. Should have 12VDC. If so, then it's a connection issue between OBDII port and pins 17,18 & 19 which are the CANBUS connection or the BMS is bad.


If connection was successful, you will get popup windows asking specific questions. Read through and answer as pertains to your situation. In most cases downloading parameters is not needed unless you have guidance from us.
