AUTOMOTIVE ART – EDC17Prog hardware modification to support
the BOOTBENCH program
Dear Customer,
due to an error of the PCB supplier of Edc17Prog, 2 resistors have been
mounted which compromise the functioning of the interface for the BootBench
program.
Below is a detailed guide to solve the problem without having to send us back
the interface.
• With the help of a pin and
another pointed element, pry
one of the edges of the screw
covers on the side indicated by
the photo; The raised screw
cover will come out of its seat,
• proceed, pulling out both screw
covers.
• Locate the 2 torx screws indicated
with the red circle in the figure on
the side,
• unscrew the 2 torx screws,
• Remove the side cover,
• Remove the printed circuit board
from the case by sliding it across
the rails.

STEP 1 – Removing the screw covers and identifying torx screws.

the BOOTBENCH program
Place the printed circuit board on bench.
• Identify the two resistors
marked R53 and R55,
highlighted with the red
rectangle in the photo on the
right.
• The area of the printed
circuit where they are
located is that near the
DB15HD connector (the one
where the cable is
connected to the control
unit).
• With pliers and soldering
iron, heat both sides of the 2
resistances, removing them
from the printed circuit,
taking care not to damage
either the nearby resistances or the connector.

STEP 2 – Identification and replacement of the 2 resistances

• Replace the 2 resistors with a
simple tin bridge between the 2
plots,
• Attention, make the jumper as
shown in the figure and highlighted
by the red rectangle.
• You can also use a small stripped
wire or (if you have them) 2 0 Ohm
resistors 0603.
• Place the printed circuit board back inside the shell in the correct position,
• place back the side cover,
• screw the two torx screws,
• place back the two screw cover caps.
