Using StarSCAN to Retrieve the Flash File From the Internet

NOTE:
Before performing this Repair Procedure, the operating software in the StarSCAN(R); must be programmed with software release level 7.02 or higher.

The software release level is visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN(R) screen.

NOTE:
The StarSCAN(R) diagnostic scan tool fully supports Internet connectivity. However, to take advantage of this feature you must first configure the StarSCAN(R) for your dealership's network. Make sure the StarSCAN(R) is configured to the dealership's network before proceeding. For instruction on setting up your StarSCAN� for the dealer's network refer to either:

"DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN and StarMOBILE tools > Online Documentation", or refer to the StarSCAN(R) Quick Start Networking Guide. The StarSCAN(R) Quick Start Networking Guide is also available on the website under the "Download Center".

NOTE:
The Repair Procedure (PCM flash) currently can not be performed using the StarMOBILE(TM) in its STANDALONE mode. Use the StarSCAN(R) to perform the Repair Procedure, or use the StarMOBILE(TM) in its CONNECTED mode to perform the Repair Procedure.

NOTE:
If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.
