WHAT IS THE CANNONDALE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL?
The Cannondale Diagnostic Tool is a Windows-based software program and special data cable that
enables you to connect and communicate with vehicles using the MC1000 Engine Management System.
The software is installed on a PC or Pocket PC, then the PC (or Pocket PC) is connected to the vehicle
wiring harness via the special data cable. Once the software is installed in the PC and communication
with the vehicle ECU is established, here’s what the tool can do:

with the vehicle ECU is established, here’s what the tool can do:
•
Send a calibration file from the PC to the vehicle ECU.
•
Receive a calibration file from the vehicle ECU to the PC.
•
Set the vehicle throttle body and injector variables
•
Monitor the (vehicle) ECU operating parameters
•
Read system faults
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
To install the Cannondale Diagnostic Tool in your PC, insert the installation CD in your computer CD-
ROM drive. Use the Windows explorer and open the program Setup.exe on the software CD. Follow the
step-by-step instructions. When the installation is complete, go to the security set-up. See next
heading.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED
Before performing any diagnostic work on the vehicle make sure the battery is at full charge. If the
battery voltage is low the ECU power relay may drop out and shut off the ECU. If the battery is not fully
charged the ECU power relay can drop out while the engine is cranking over. Why? During crank over
the battery voltage could drop below the needed latch voltage of 10 volts.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ECU IS POWERED-UP
The vehicle’s ECU operates on a relay controlled power source which is separate from any lighting or
starting electrical systems. The relay “latches-in” the ECU when the crankshaft sensor detects flywheel
movement. If the ECU senses inactivity (no engine start or communications between the PC and ECU)
for two minutes, it powers down. If you try to communicate with the ECU when it is powered-down or off,
the “Failed to Unlock System 125” message will display.

POWERING-UP MOTO ECU’S
On motorcycles, power-up is relatively simple. Press the green start button and release it without
starting the engine. When the system is powered-up the green LED on the data cable “block” will light.
