Procedure

Note:
^ Use STAR Diagnosis DAS software 09/2004 with the 2004-09-23-0295 patch installed (or later DAS release). As of DAS Release 10/04 the 2004-09-23-0295 patch is included within the DAS software.

^ Serial interface (COM1) on SDS must be free. In the event a device is connected to COM1, disconnect the device (from the SDS COM1 port) then shut down and restart SDS.

1. Visually inspect whether the pump motor of the SBC hydraulic unit has a white Q11 sticker on it. If this is the case, programming is not required. The vehicle can be returned to the customer without the need for additional work. If a Q11 sticker is not present, continue with procedure. To close out campaign for inspection only see Warranty Information.

Notes on programming the SBC control module:

^ In order to avoid oscillations in the on-board power supply, no electrical devices must be switched on/off. Ensure all electrical consumers are switched off (e.g. radio, telephone, climate control) prior to programming the SBC control module.

^ The programming will not be successful if the SBC control module has undervoltage when programming is taking place. For this reason, a battery charger must be connected before programming starts.

CAUTION!
If programming is aborted, the SBC control module will no longer be operational!

^ Temperature of SBC hydraulic unit must be less than or equal to 50°C and greater Than or equal to 10°C. Programming with SDS is not possible if hydraulic unit temperature is out of range. Do not cool hydraulic unit with any other method than air cooling (e.g., open hood and allow unit to cool unassisted or cool unit by circulating air around it using a standing electric room fan).

2. Connect SDS to vehicle through the 16 pin diagnostic connector (X11/4).

3. Switch ignition: ON.

4. Perform short test, read and document fault memory then erase fault codes.

Note:
Prior to programming, ensure that there are no warning messages in the instrument cluster display. Take care of any customer complaints prior to programming the SBC control module.

5. Select Control Units adaptations in the SBC control module by navigating through the following screen menus in DAS: Control Units/Chassis/SBC - Sensotronic Brake Control/Control Unit Adaptations.

Note:
The DAS steps MUST be followed exactly as described in the previous step.





6. When the "Control Unit Adaptations" menu item is selected the parameters are updated and SDS checks whether the SBC control module requires programming.

^ If programming is not required, a white Q11 sticker must be affixed to the pump motor of the SBC hydraulic unit in a clearly visible position. The sticker must be applied to a clean surface. Disconnect SDS from vehicle. The vehicle can be returned to the customer.

^ If SDS indicates that control module software for updating has been found, continue with step 6.

^ Ensure that the vehicle has an adequate power supply (more than 12.5V) using a battery charger. Do not connect the negative terminal of the battery charger to the vehicle battery, but connect it to a vehicle ground instead.

^ Read and observe notes on control unit programming in DAS.

7. Press F2:

The vehicle will now be checked with regard to the SBC hydraulic unit voltage supply and temperature.





8. Connect adapter cable connector (A, Figure 2) to connector (B, Figure, 3) on the SBC module box (A, Figure 3) and secure connector (A, Figure 2) using thumb screws (arrows).

Note:
Ensure that the connection is correctly seated by fully tightening the thumb screws (arrows).

CAUTION!
The SBC module box (A, Figure 3) must be positioned in a location where the adapter cable (B, Figure 2) cannot come into contact with rotating engine parts.





9. Disconnect engine wiring harness connector (arrow, Figure 4) from SBC control module (A).





10. Connect and lock 15/47-pin adapter cable connector (A, Figure 5) to engine wiring harness connector (B).

11. Connect and lock 15/47-pin adapter cable connector (C, Figure 5) to SBC control module (D) connector.

12. Press F2.

13. Connect SDS and SBC module:





^ Connect one end of serial cable connector (A, Figure 6) to serial port on the SBC module box (H) and secure using thumb screws.

^ Connect the other end of serial cable connector (F, Figure 6) to serial interface COM1 (B) on SDS (G).





Note:
Refer also to Figures 7 and 8 for location of SDS serial interface locations.

Note:
^ Ensure that both ends of the serial connector are correctly seated by fully tightening the thumb screws.

^ Ensure that the cable connection from SDS to the 16-pin diagnostic connector (X11/4) on the vehicle is not interrupted.

14. To continue procedure, press F2 and follow the DAS instructions.

15. Start programming by pressing F3.

Note:
^ Programming takes approx. 2.5 to 3 minutes. Do not disrupt procedure while in progress.

^ Follow DAS instructions.

^ If programming was unsuccessful, an error message will appear. Other SDS actions may be requested depending on the error messages.

^ If the COM1 port on SDS is not enabled, the vehicle cannot be programmed.

16. Following programming, remove the adapter cable (15-/47-pin) and the serial cable (9-pin) from SDS and the SBC module box. Reconnect engine wiring harness connector to SBC hydraulic unit.

Note:
Ensure that the cable connection from SDS to the 16-pin diagnostic connector (X11/4) on the vehicle is not interrupted.

17. Press F2. The programming of the SBC control module will now be checked.

Note:
^ The programming of the SBC control module causes various fault codes to be stored in other control modules. For this reason, step 18 must be performed after the SBC control module has been successfully programmed.

^ If programming is successful DAS will display:
"Result: Programming of control module successfully completed".

18. Perform short test, erase fault memory.

19. Attach Q11 sticker to the pump motor of the SBC hydraulic unit in a clearly visible position. The sticker must be applied to a clean surface.

20. For vehicles:

^ Model 211:

^ Up to chassis end number A 279 911, X102 857 continue to step 21 (bleed hydraulic braking system).

^ As of chassis end number A 279 912, X102 858 continue to step 23 (brake bleeding not required).

^ Model 230:

^ Up to chassis end number F 066 278 continue to step 21 (bleed hydraulic braking system)

^ As of chassis end number F 066 279 continue to step 23 (brake bleeding not required).

21. Bleed hydraulic braking system (refer to WIS: AR42.10-P-0012R). Navigate through the Following screen menus in DAS to perform bleeding and follow on-screen instructions: Control units/Chassis/SBC/General servicing/Replace brake system fluid/Bleed brake system (follow on-screen instructions).

WARNING!
Use only Special Tool: EHB adapter (part no. 240 589 00 91 00) when bleeding brakes. DO NOT use any other part no. regardless of what is indicated in DAS.

Note:
Remove all four wheels on the following models when bleeding brakes: 211.076, 230.474/476

22. Inspect brake system for air. Navigate through the Following screen menus in DAS to inspect brake system for air and follow on-screen instructions: Control units/ Chassis/SBC/ General servicing/Inspect brake system for air (follow on-screen instructions).

23. Disconnect SDS from vehicle.

Note:
All Sensotronic Brake Control diagnosis and/or repair must be performed utilizing STAR Diagnosis DAS software 09/2004 with the 2004-09-23-0295 patch installed (or later DAS release) or erroneous diagnosis may occur.

24. Disconnect battery charger

Note:
^ If SDS indicates that the SBC hydraulic unit must be replaced, proceed as described in WIS AR42.46-P-0010R. All the steps described therein must be followed.

^ If the instrument cluster's odometer displays "------", instead of actual mileage, then the instrument cluster will need to be reinitialized. In order to reinitialize the instrument cluster navigate through the following DAS menus: Control units/Information and communication/IC-Instrument cluster. Once the Instrument Cluster menu is selected, DAS will automatically prompt instrument cluster initialization (follow on screen instructions).

^ The replacement parts department ensures that only the latest version of the SBC hydraulic unit will be delivered. These units no longer require programming.
