Please read the following information before using the system for the first time. If you have any questions about the use of the system, please contact us at [Sales@candoopro.com](Sales@candoopro.com), or visit our Forum at [http://forums.candoopro.com/](http://forums.candoopro.com/) .  \nQuick Start Guide – Ski Doo Snowmobiles  \nHardware and Harness Guide; what’s included:  \nThe Candoopro system setup for Ski Doo Snowmobiles includes the following parts:  \nThe Vehicle Diagnostic System Box, which connects to your PC and the sled:  \nThe USB Cable, which connects the Vehicle Diagnostic System Box to the PC:  \nThe 9 pin/6 pin adapter cable, which connects to the Vehicle Diagnostic System Box and to the various other adapter harnesses going to the ski:  \nThe DESS adapter, which connects to the 9 pin/6 pin adapter, and connects to the DESS post. NOTE: This connection method is only used for early (1998 2002) models with carburetors. Do not used this adapter for later model PowerTek or fuel injected (SDI or E Tec)skis .  \nThe Ski Doo Main Power Adapter Harness, which is used on most later (2003+) models. This harness has two functions; 1. Applies power to the vehicle computer to enable communication. 2. Provides the connection between the vehicle and Candoopro.  \nThe 9 Volt Adapter Cable, which is used on most early models (1998 2002) to provide power directly to the vehicle computer (MPEM), and used on later (2003+) carburetor models with the 6 pin diagnostic plug and the Main Power Adapter Harness.  \nThe 12 Volt Adapter Cable, which is used on most later models (2003+) that have the 6 pin diagnostic plug. The 12 volt adapter cable plugs into the Main Power Adapter Harness, which is then plugged into the 6 pin diagnostic port on the vehicle.  \nGetting Started Loading Software and Starting up the Program: First Time: (Internet Connection is REQUIRED)  \n􀀁 Install USB Drivers, by entering the following into your web browser  \no  [http://www.candoopro.com/candooinstall/driver/usbdriver.exe](http://www.candoopro.com/candooinstall/driver/usbdriver.exe)  \n􀀁 Connect CANDoo Professional System to the PC with the provided USB Cable  \n􀀁 Install CANDoo Professional Software, by entering the following into your web browser  \no  [http://www.candoopro.com/candooinstall/CanDooPro.msi](http://www.candoopro.com/candooinstall/CanDooPro.msi)  \n􀀁 Start CANDoo Professional by going to start menu and launching CANDoo Professional  \no When prompted to download the new update, you must select “YES”  \nEach Use: (Internet Connection is Optional)  \n􀀁 Connect CANDoo Professional System to the PC with the provided USB Cable  \n􀀁 Start CANDoo Professional by going to start menu and launching CANDoo Professional  \n􀀁 Bottom left of the CANDoo Professional software shows the current status  \no  \n􀀁 After vehicle is connected, select Vehicle menu option and click read  \nVehicle Connection:  \nNOTE: Before connecting to a ski, please read the service manual for the particular model of snowmobile! There are a huge number of different models over the years, and there are many confusing differences between the various models.  \nHere are some general pointers for connecting to Ski Doo Snowmobiles.  \nMost of the variation in connections (particularly power) was on 1998 to 2002 carbureted models.  \nThe vehicle computer (MPEM on early sleds, ECU or ECM on later sleds) needs power going to it to enable Candoopro to communicate to it. There are two ways this can be accomplished. One way is to apply power to the computer, using the adapter cables. The other is to start the sled. (when the sled  \nis running, the computer is naturally powered up, either by the magneto on early sleds, or the battery/charging system and relay on later models) . Most technicians prefer to apply power to the vehicle computer while the sled is not running.  \nOn most early sleds, the external power is applied by using the 9 volt Adapter Cable, plugged directly into the","cbCaicLJzjjitWpL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicLJzjjitWpL","pdf",728588,"English","# Quick Start Guide – Ski Doo Snowmobiles\n## Hardware and Harness Guide; what’s included\n## Getting Started: Loading Software and Starting up the Program\n## Each Use: Connecting and Launching CANDoo Professional\n## Vehicle Connection and Power Connection Methods\n## Typical Connections for Early (1998–2002) Carbureted Models","[{\"question\":\"What parts are included in the Candoopro setup for Ski Doo snowmobiles?\",\"answer\":\"The setup includes the Vehicle Diagnostic System Box, the USB cable, a 9 pin/6 pin adapter cable, the DESS adapter, and the relevant main power or voltage adapter harness/cable depending on the model.\"},{\"question\":\"Is an internet connection required to use CANDoo Professional?\",\"answer\":\"Internet connection is required for the first-time software loading.
