ST22 SEBRING STRATUS 2 DOOR COUPES (2001-2005)
These vehicles use MMC based modules. The CH8432 Supplemental Reprogramming
Tool (SRT) was shipped as a 2001 Essential Tool. The flash reprogramming update files
will be downloaded from TechCONNECT Client to the SRT for flash reprogramming
sessions on these vehicles. Users should closely follow the instructions that come with the
tool. If the tool has not been initialized, there is a known condition where it may take up to
5 or more attempts for it to fully initialize and become functional.
NOTE: Once it has successfully flashed, it is initialized and no further action is
required.
PREPARING TO FLASH
It is highly recommended that a sign, or other process, be used that notifies other users
that a FLASH SESSION IS IN-PROGRESS and must NOT be interrupted. Interrupting
some flash reprogramming sessions at critical junctures can render a module inoperative.
Another user may not realize that a flash session is in-progress and may disturb or
disconnect the DRBIII® or do something on the vehicle that could interrupt the flash
process.
Before starting the flash session, read, record and erase all DTCs found on the vehicle.
Also "Cold Boot" the DRBIII® and download the flash since this will erase the flash file
from the DRBIII® memory. (To "Cold Boot", press the MORE and YES buttons on the
DRBIII®, at the same time. Then press "F4").
Be sure to arrange the TechCONNECT and DRBIII® so that no cables are stretched
across an area where someone might trip over or kick a cable. When setting up your
DRBIII®, insure that it rests on a surface where it will not fall or be bumped during
reprogramming e.g.: DRBIII®s have been known to be swept off vehicle windshields by
accident when a user bumps the wiper switch).
Check User settings on the DRBIII®. From the DRBIII® Main menu, press 6, 1 and check
to make sure item 1. Echo on PC is set to OFF. On occasion, when Echo on PC is set to
ON, flash reprogramming errors may occur.
VEHICLE BATTERY VOLTAGE
The flash programming procedure puts a load on the electrical system that may last from
five to twenty minutes depending on the particular flash reprogramming update. Connect a
battery charger to the vehicle. Set the charger to as close to 14 volts as possible. If the
charger has a timer, set it for 30 minutes BEFORE starting a flash reprogramming session.
This will help to prevent unwanted resets by either the DRBIII® and/or the vehicle module
that are caused by voltage fluctuations.
Alternately, as a bare minimum, use a "Battery Jump Box" when a battery charger is
