MotoService FAQs

MotoService is used to distribute the following apps to vendors in one installation file:

MotoUpdate MotoViewer MotoServer Runtime KVASER driver installation

The install may be customized by placing an ECUFiles folder in the same directory as the Setup.exe. The ECUFiles folder will copy the contents of the folders (displays (.dis), TDBDLL (.dll), and Updates(.mfu)) into the target installations disks' ECUFiles folder. It should be noted that it will copy to the local disk only when distributed via a removable drive or zip archive.

The PortInfo.cfg file can be customized to add specific ports to the installation. The PortInfo.cg file should be placed in the ECUFiles folder in the installation directory. This enables the distributors of MotoService to package their own CD or zip archive for distribution to vendors.

MotoUpdateAuthor is used to generate and maintain MotoUpdate (.mfu) files.

How do I create an MotoService install package for my Service Technicians

Download MotoService, unzip that file on your engineering machine, inside the zip it looked like:

Inside 'ecufiles', add 'Programs' and 'TDBDLL', so it looks like:

You can add any srz's or [[MotoTune] dll's that are needed for your customers, you might want to add a 'Displays' folder too, with any [[MotoTune] displays your service technicians will need.

You can edit PortInfo.cfg to add/remove ports (these will be added/removed on the installed machine).

The example above will make it so that your customer has just PCM-1 on the machine after running the installer.

After these steps were complete, move the whole folder to a thumb drive (you might burn to a CD) and then install on new machine, running 'MotoService RELEASE 8.13.7.120.exe' from the thumb drive. Do not zip up the files, simply copy the whole directory out to the thumb drive (or burn to CD). See below:

When installed on a clean machine, you should see that the ECUFiles is replicated in the C:\ECUFiles\ folder required for the tools to connect to the ECU, and only port PCM-1 is available (with the example above).
