2 Introduction The Co-Pilot is a portable recorder that captures engine and transmission data for intermittent problems that cannot be reproduced in the service bay. The Co-Pilot works with the following Mopar Diagnostic Systems (MDS) and vehicles: MDS1 for most to 1995 Chrysler vehicles equipped with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems. MDS2 for 1996 to current year Chrysler vehicles equipped with On Board Diagnostic OBD systems. The Co-Pilot is simple to use. First: A service technician programs the Co-Pilot Data Recorder and installs it, along with the Remote Controller Trigger, in the customer s vehicle. Second: The customer drives the vehicle. When the intermittent problem occurs, the customer simply presses a Record button on the the Remote Controller Trigger to capture the data. The Co-Pilot records approximately 45 seconds of engine data. From one (1) to three (3) separate recordings can be made. The Co-Pilot always saves the three (3) most recent recordings. Third: A service technician removes the Co-Pilot components from the vehicle, uploads the recorded data to the MDS1 or MDS2, and begins vehicle data analysis. 2

3 Programming the Co-Pilot 1. Turn the MDS2 unit ON. Co-Pilot Data Recorder MDS2 Power Supply MDS2 Data Transfer Cable MDS2 Serial Port 2. Connect the Co-Pilot Data Recorder to the MDS2 as follows: a. Connect the Data Transfer Cable (Item 9; see page 1) to the Co-Pilot Data Recorder. b. Connect the Data Transfer Cable s serial port connector to the MDS serial port. NOTE: If the Cart was not purchased, locate the 9-pin male serial connector located on the back of the computer. This connector is marked with the symbol: c. Connect the Data Transfer Cable s 8-pin plug to the MDS2 power supply. This turns the Co-Pilot Data Recorder ON. The red and green Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) flash alternately. (Refer to the LED charts on the next page.) NOTE: When the MDS2 communicates to the Co-Pilot Data Recorder, it verifies that the software version is current. If the software is not current, it prompts you to update the software. 3

In the Available Templates list, click the name of the template to download to the Co-Pilot Data Recorder. 7. Click the Download to Co-Pilot button. The red LED on the Co-Pilot stops flashing; the green LED continues flashing. Refer to the LED charts on page From the Choose Part Number screen that appears, click the part number for the vehicle controller and then click the OK button. (Use DRBIII to get the part number from the vehicle.) 9. The message Template download was successful appears. Click the OK button. 10. Disconnect the Co-Pilot Data Recorder from the MDS2. 11 Install the Co-Pilot Data Recorder and Remote Controller Trigger on the vehicle. Refer to Installing the Co-Pilot on page 6. 5

6 Installing the Co-Pilot 1. Remove the MDS2 Data Transfer Cable (Item 9; see page 1) from the Co-Pilot Data Recorder and connect the appropriate Data Transfer Cable (Transmission: Items 3, 11 or 13; Engine: Items 4, 6, 7, 10 or 12; see page 1). 2. Connect the Data Transfer Cable to the vehicle Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) located under the vehicle hood or in the passenger area. You may need to use a Right Angle adapter (Items 2; see page 1) to access the DLC. Refer to the appropriate Driveability or Diagnostic Test Procedure Manual for the location of the vehicle s DLC. 3. Depending on the DLC location, position the Co-Pilot in the vehicle as follows: Diagnostic connector located under the dash (most 1996 and later models): Clean the outside surfaces of the Co-Pilot Data Recorder and the Data Transfer Cable. Then secure the Co-Pilot Data Recorder inside the driver side door pocket or in a safe, out-of-the-way location. Warning: Secure the cables away from the brake and accelerator pedal area. A loose cable can entangle a foot and possibly lead to an accident. Slide Into Door Pocket 6

7 Diagnostic connector located under the hood (most 1995 and previous models): Locate the brackets on the back of the Co-Pilot Data Recorder. Secure it to a stable area near the DLC and out of the way of moving engine components. Use the Adjustable Straps provided with the Co-Pilot kit (Item 8; see page 1). Co-Pilot Data Recorder Adjustable Straps DLC Receptacle 4. Connect the Remote Controller Trigger (Item 5; see page 1) to the Co-Pilot Data Recorder. Place the Remote Controller Trigger inside the passenger area and attach it to the visor. Position it so that the driver can easily press the Record button while driving. Remote Controller Trigger Warning: Secure the cables away from the windshield viewing area. Make sure the driver can easily locate the Remote Controller Trigger without having to look away from the road. 5. Turn the ignition ON, the green LED on the Remote Controller Trigger must light. This indicates the Co-Pilot is ready. Perform a test to make sure the Co-Pilot is functioning properly. NOTE: Many newer model vehicles do not have switched battery power to the DLC. When using the Co-Pilot with these vehicles, the LEDs stay ON for 30 to 40 seconds after turning the key OFF. Also, opening a door on these vehicles causes the Co-Pilot to re-activate and to stay active for 30 to 40 seconds after closing the door. 7

8 Chrysler Co-Pilot Instructions The Chrysler Co-Pilot is a portable recorder designed to capture engine data for intermittent problems that cannot be reproduced in the service bay. The Co-Pilot is simple to use. First: The recorder is installed in your vehicle by a Chrysler service technician. Second: Take the vehicle out on the road and drive in a normal manner until the intermittent problem reappears: Then, press the button on the remote controller positioned in the vehicle. The Co-Pilot will record approximately 45 seconds of engine data. Any amount of recordings can be made. The Co-Pilot saves the three (3) most recent recordings. Third: When you are satisfied that the problem is captured, bring the data recorder back to your Chrysler dealer. The service technician will remove the recorder and begin the analysis of the vehicle data. Additional information you should know: The light on the Remote Controller will illuminate when the key is turned ON; it will flash while the event is being recorded. For LH models, the light will also illuminate when the door is opened. It will turn off seconds after the key is turned off and the door is closed. Up to three separate recordings can be made. + Green LED ON means No recording stored. Instructing the Customer Take a few minutes to show the customer where the Co-Pilot components are located in their vehicle and how to use the Remote Controller Trigger. Review the following items with the customer: The LED on the Remote Controller Trigger lights when the key is turned ON; it flashes while an event is recording. If the LED does not light, check all connections to be sure they are tightly connected. If the LED still fails to light, return to the Dealer. Take the vehicle out on the road and drive in a normal manner until the intermittent problem appears. Then, press the Record button on the Remote Controller Trigger. After recording the intermittent problem, bring the vehicle back. NOTE: With a copy machine, duplicate the DaimlerChrylsr Customer Co-Pilot Instructions located on the back cover of this instruction manual. Place the instructions on half of the paper, leave the other half open for customer notes and comments. As you explain the Co-Pilot, give the copy to the customer and explain that it is for reference and for writing notes. Customer Instructions Leave blank for customer comments and notes 8
