Connect to the Vehicle to Start the Proterra Diagnostics Tool
This process will guide the user to connect to the vehicle with the Proterra Diagnostics Tool.
1. Turn ON the 12/24V rear Vehicle Master Disconnect located behind the vehicle curbside rear
charge port access panel.
2. Turn ON the bus Master Run Switch at the Driver's Workplace and ensure the Dash screen is
ON to display “KEY ON”.
a. This places the vehicle into Key On / Low Voltage state for controller versions to be
checked prior to software flash.
3. For Body Controller Programming:
a. Turn OFF the Master Run Switch at the Driver’s Workplace and ensure the dash screen
is OFF.
b. Turn ON the bus “programming switch” inside the street side wheel well box.
4. Using a T30 Torx screwdriver or appropriate tools, remove the two access covers:
a. Street side wheel well electronics cabinet (ECAB) panel for access to the OBDII Port.

b. Rear deck access panel for OBDII Diagnostic port (NOTE: on E2-35 foot buses this is
located behind the rear barn doors on the left hand side).

5. Power up (boot) the Proterra-supplied laptop containing the Proterra Diagnostic Tool.

This procedure checks the Body Controller software version and maintains the body controller
parameter configuration data across the flash download of new software.

Verify Current Software Version
1. With the Diagnostic tool connected to the vehicle at the front or rear deck OBDII Port, navigate
to the “Battery PackseBay logo” Tab and view the Main and SC SW Versions.
a. If these do not read 117340A and 117340D, as shown below, you must download
battery packeBay logo firmware.

Update Using the Proterra Diagnostic Tool
1. Ensure the laptop battery is full or it is connected to AC power. The procedure can take up to
ten minutes per pack to complete.
2. Ensure you have the latest software file **.mbms to a known location on the service technician’s
computer (Folder or Desktop).
IMPORTANT! NEVER access the software from the USB memory device, ALWAYS copy the
software files to your computer hard drive and access the software from this location. Secure the bus
with the Vehicle Master Disconnect in the rear ON.
3. Turn the dash Master Switch to ON. Do not press START. Use the hazard lights if necessary
to maintain bus power.
4. With the Proterra diagnostic tool connected to either the front or rear diagnostic port (must
have BCAN data available), navigate to the Configuration tab.

Update Using MonacoUDS Client (Alternate Method)
1. Ensure the laptop battery is full or it is connected to AC power. The procedure can take up to
ten minutes per pack to complete.
2. Download the archive file (.zip or .rar) containing the flashing utility, BMS files, and instructions
to your laptop hard drive.
3. Extract the archive file to a folder at a location of your choosing; remember this location for
future steps.

4. Connect the PCAN dongle to the laptop.
5. Close all CAN utilities running on the laptop: PCAN Explorer, DST, CANalyzer, etc.
Note: These programs can interfere with the tool’s ability to use the PCAN dongle and will
prevent the tool from correctly flashing the BMS.
6. Launch the flashing tool: MonacoUDSClient.exe.
Note: Do not attempt to run the tool straight from the archive file; extract it first, then run it from
the extracted folder.

to maintain bus power.
12. Remove the rear deck access cover behind the back seats using a T30 Torx driver, or square
key if the bus is so equipped.
13. Connect the OBD to DB adapter cable to the rear diagnostic port, then connect the PCAN
dongle to the BCAN port on the cable.

14. Click on the “Scan Dialog” button, then “Start Scan” on the window that pops up.
Note: This will scan for all connected BMS units. On a 4 pack bus you should see 8 instances
of “true” in the first column, as seen below.

15. Once all four packs’ Safety and Main controllers are verified as online, you may proceed with
the flashing procedure.
