Enable or disable engine indicator status from the BIM-01-1
Hold the switch beside the BIM terminal strip while turning the key on. The BIM display will show the current
revision code while this is held.
Release the switch. The display will show "".
Press the switch. The BIM display will show the currently selected bus ID.
Release the switch.
Press and release the switch to change the setting from ,,, or.
Press and hold the switch to save the setting.
The display show "". Release the switch.
The display will show the current state or the engine indicator enable  (enable) or  (disable).
Press and release the switch to change the state, press and hold to save and exit.
The BIM will restart with the new settings.
When using the pre-CAN bus GM J1850 or Ford J1850 protocols the unit must have a unique ID to identify itself on the
bus. By default this is set to use a gauge display panel bus ID and should not normally need to be changed. If there is
some other module already using this ID, then another can be selected. Some Chrysler vehicles may require F1 or F2
ID's to be selected for proper operation. 61 and 62 are gauge ID's and F1 and F2 are scan tool ID's.
To set or change the diagnostic bus ID numbers:
Hold the switch beside the BIM terminal strip while turning the key on. The BIM display will show the current
revision code while this is held.
Release the switch. The display will show "".
Press the switch. The BIM display will show the currently selected bus ID.
Release the switch.
Press and release the switch to change the setting from ,,, or.
Press and hold the switch to save the setting.
The display show "". Release the switch.
The display will show the current state or the engine indicator enable  (enable) or  (disable).
Press and release the switch to change the state, press and hold to save and exit.
The BIM will restart with the new settings.
Troubleshooting quick tips:
While the BIM is operating, the dot in the upper left corner of the display will indicate the status. On steady indicates it
is powered up but not receiving any BIM bus activity. Flashing indicates it is communicating on the BIM bus. A dot in
the upper center indicates that there is an engine code set (MIL active).
If the display is sequencing through "", "", and "" then it is scanning to try and communicate with the vehicle
bus but cannot get an answer.
To see the sensor and channel status on the BIM display, press and hold the switch. If "BUS" is shown, the module
cannot communicate with the vehicle. The display will cycle through several screens. The first will show the bus type
("" for GM or Chrysler J1850, "" for Ford J1850, "" for CAN) and the number of control modules answering. The
next screens will indicate which extended data is available: "" for intake temp, "" for engine oil pressure, ""
for fuel level, "" for transmission temp, "" for gear position, and "" for ambient air temp.
