Summary of Software Changes
There are three controllers that will be updated. Below are the high-level updates. More detailed
information is available in the individual controllers release notes.
•
•
Body Controller
• Updated the HVAC state conditions to not request for fan control during auxiliary heat
cycles.
• Updated the HVAC heat cycle state conditions to request to lockout the A/C
functionality.
• Added a PA System Active Icon.
• Added a Video Event Active Icon.
• Added functionality to always request to close the fresh air flaps and prevent opening.
• Fixed an issue where the HVAC state machine was not exiting the electric heat state to
other new HVAC states.
• Fixed an issue where the curbside rear door was not able to be requested to close while
opening.
• Fixed an issue with the vehicle range and efficiency displayed on the dash.
• Fixed an issue with false ceiling light configuration diagnostics being always active.
Vehicle Controller
• Change hard coded power electronics coolant pump max temperature limit to a
calibratable parameter.
• Added HVIL 10hz low pass filter on the analog signal to remove the high frequency
noise that is tripping HVIL. Added a learned DC offset to use based on a 2.5 second
moving average window, to base protections on.
• Graham White cutout pressure set to 130 psi
• When requested from the Body or Manual Charging, set interlocks only when parking
brake is not set.
• Added cableCheck response contains CableCheckFailed as condition to set SPN
520879 FMI 31 'Pantograph Failed to Connect' fault.
• Added auto-detect for Heron based on additional coolant sensor availability.
• SPN 8234 FMI 0 will not be set when Battery Coolant Temperature is Invalid.
• Battery Heater FMI 0 will not trip when FMI 3 is active.
• Update flow status determination to be based off the pump speed Cals.

•
HVAC Inverter
• HVAC Lenze VFD AC switching frequency is changed from 8 kHZ to 2KHZ, this
dramatically increases the max allowable current and thus power the compressor can
pull.
• The Vehicle controller is updated for 15KW inverters to reduce compressor speed when
power exceeds the set limit where an over current can occur (even with 2KHZ switching
frequency), Speed is reduced temporarily and is increased incrementally continually to
test if the exceedingly high current draw is lower.
• The HVAC Inverter CAN ID is changed from 246 to 245 for buses with 15KW VFDs
getting this software change. This allows the Vehicle controller to properly set vehicle
speed contols for 15 and 30 KW VFDs (which would have no limitation).

Appendix A
BODY SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE
Description
This document contains the necessary information to update the Body Controller on a Proterra
Vehicle. This controller provides the control algorithms for body functionality on 800V models. This
covers the control logic relating to driver inputs and display, stop requests, doors, interior and exterior
lighting, and ramp control.
Tools/Programs Required
Tools Required:
• Laptop Computer
• Nexiq USB-Link 2
Programs Required:
• Proterra Diagnostics Tool
Software Files Required / Preparation
To program the body controller, you will need a *.ZR32A_A data file. This file contains the necessary
firmware files and a baseline configuration to provide an operational bus body. The bus may need to
be configured to match customer specific functionality after programming.
If the vehicle has already been configured, the Proterra Diagnostics Tool will attempt to automatically
carry the configuration information forward into the new software version.
If needed, configuration information is contained in the released customer configuration
documentation. Ensure that you also have the configuration definition for the customer’s vehicle.
IMPORTANT! NEVER access the software from the USB memory device or network drive,
ALWAYS copy the software files to your computer hard drive and access the software from this
location.

Preparing the Vehicle to be Programmed
When programming a vehicle, it is critical that the low voltage batteries remain connected throughout
the process. Ensure that the LV batteries are fully charged before starting the process. If they are
low you can use the vehicle to recharge them buy turning on high voltage, or you can place the bus
on a low voltage charger for the duration of the process.
Connecting to the Vehicle
This process will guide the user to connect to the vehicle with the Proterra Diagnostics Tool.
1. Power up and login to the Proterra-Supplied laptop or a comparable PC that has the Proterra
Diagnostics Tool software installed with a valid license.
2. Turn ON the 12/24V rear Vehicle Master Disconnect located at the curbside rear charge port
access panel.

4. Turn the Driver’s Master Switch to the ACC position.
5. On the laptop, double-click on the Proterra Diagnostics Tool software icon to start the software.
6. When the program opens, read and click OK for the high voltage safety prompt.
7. On the Home tab, select the appropriate device from the drop down and click “Connect”.
8. Once the Proterra Diagnostics Tool has connected to the vehicle, you will have a VIN number
and connection status displayed on the home screen, and tabs available to navigate. If you
don’t, double check that the low voltage batteries are connected and that the Nexiq tool is
plugged in.

Download and Store Existing Parameters
Sometimes you might want to download and store the customer specific parameters from the vehicle.
This can be useful when comparing two vehicles that are behaving differently, or if you are replacing
the ZR32A controller on a vehicle.
1. After the first vehicle has been completed and verified, disconnect the Proterra Diagnostics
Tool and then re-connect.
2. Navigate to the Configuration tab and click the “Get Parameters” button. This will download the
latest parameter set to the “C:\Logs” folder on your machine.

3. In windows file explorer, navigate to the C:\Logs folder. Copy the latest downloaded *.zip file to
a folder for the specific customer and vehicle.
Copy!
4. Do not rename the file as the tool will follow the naming convention when reloading the file.

4. In the pop-up window, select the software flash file to load to the controller.
5. The Programming window will come up and will take a few minutes to complete. The process
will flash 5 different files to the controller.
6. After the controller is updated the tool will automatically try to copy over the original
configuration into the new software. Since there is a possibility that configuration options
change it is important to check the configuration after restarting the vehicle.
7. Once the process has finished, cycle power to the bus by moving the driver master switch
back to the off position before continuing.
