2 Optional Base Maps & Loading a new Map

Your ECU is preloaded with our Primary Map. Please verify what Primary Map is loaded in your ECU by checking the sticker located on the ECU packaging. If your craft’s configuration does not match the Primary Map specifications please click here to go to RIVA ECU Manager web site ‘Base Maps’ web page. Locate the map applicable to your configuration and click on the map name to expand. Locate and click on the download icon ( ) in the lower left corner of that map.

Save the file to your ‘Desktop’. Continue reading the section below to send new map to your ECU.

IF the Primary Map is the correct file for your application and you DO NOT require a different Map.

Continue to Section 3

2.1 Sending a New Map to ECU Refer to Section ‘1’ for Communication cable connections for Seadoo & Yamaha.

2.2 Open PC Link Calibration Software on your PC. Press the ‘F3’ Key on the keyboard. Calibration Software should now be connected to the ECU. In the upper right hand corner of the screen ‘ONLINE’ should be visible (Figure 2). If ‘OFFLINE’ is displayed no connection is active. Repeat this step again.

When completed a new window will open confirming the file was opened and downloaded successfully. Select ‘YES’ to ‘Store’ the new file in the ECU. NOTE: A ‘Store’ MUST be completed to save changes made to ECU. Warning: If you do not select YES to store the file information all the previous steps will be lost.

2.7 Because you have sent a NEW Calibration file to the ECU you must power cycle the ECU before continuing. If a power cycle is not performed the remaining process detailed below will not complete successfully. Power cycle the ECU by removing the Brown/Yellow ground wire from the engine ground and replace shrink wrap cover making sure the exposed wire is protected. With lanyard disconnected depress ‘Stop’ button on start/stop switch for two seconds to complete process.
