SERVICE PROCEDURE
Sonar Control Unit Reprogramming
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current
date.



All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.



The CONSULT PC is connected to the internet via a cable or Wi-Fi.
 Later in the procedure you will be required to enter your username and
password.
 The CONSULT PC must be connected to the internet.
 If you do not know your username and password, contact your service
manager.



A screen print for warranty documentation can be done from the C-III plus during
this service procedure while still connected to the vehicle.



No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored.
 Use C-III plus to perform Self Diagnosis for all systems.
 If there are any DTCs, other than B2740-87, B2744-87 and/or B274D-87,
diagnose, perform repairs, and erase DTCs before continuing.

1.

Connect the VI to the vehicle.

Make sure the VI is securely connected. If the VI connection is loose during
reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the control unit may be
damaged.
2.

Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.

Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops
during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the control unit may be
damaged.
3.

Connect a battery maintainer/smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar setting.
To avoid damage to the control unit, ensure a battery maintainer or smart charger is
