Installing and Removing the MPC Cartridge

With the MPC cartridge installed in the Pro-Link tool, you

can use the Bendix ABS application card.

To Install the MPC Cartridge:

1 Disconnect the vehicle adapter (containing the 12–

volt power feed) from the vehicle.

2 Seat the cartridge on the back of the Pro-Link tool.

Do not hold the cartridge at an angle. It must sit ﬂat.

It will go only one way.

Note: The connector (edgeboard) of the cartridge

automatically lines up with the connector and the

Pro-Link unit.

3 Slide the cartridge forward until it clicks into place.

The cartridge may be left in place indeﬁnitely.

To Remove the MPC Cartridge:

1 Place your thumbs on the slanted surface of the

keyboard and your ﬁngers on the cartridge.

2 Make a motion similar to snapping your ﬁngers. The

retention latches will release the outer end of the

MPC cartridge.

3 Continue sliding the cartridge straight out until the

edgeboard is clear of the connector in the Pro-Link

tool.

Non-Volatile Memory

The MPC cartridge has a non-volatile memory. This

means that data is not lost when the Pro-Link/MPC tool

is disconnected from the vehicle’s power source.

When the Pro-Link/MPC tool is connected to an external

power source (using the power cable in conjunction with

the data cable), the Pro-Link/MPC tool recognizes that it

is not communicating with an ECU. The “func” key is still

active, and you can access stored data for review and

printing. This includes “MPC Utilities” and “Recall Data.”
