  1. StarMOBILE® Standalone Diagnostic Mode is an efficient way to flash ECUs without having direct access to a network connection. It involves first copying the flash file to the StarMOBILE® device which DOES require a network connection. Once the file has been copied to the StarMOBILE® device, it can be used in a Standalone mode to flash the ECU WITHOUT a network connection.
  2. To use the StarMOBILE® in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE® is connected to the dealership network via a wired or wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode see the StarMOBILE® training tutorials available on 'DealerCONNECT Service, StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® Tools Training Aids' link or at www.dcctools.com, under the 'Training Aids' link.
  3. StarMOBILE® does not need to be connected to a vehicle when retrieving a flash file for Standalone Mode.
  4. Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The ECU can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
  5. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted.
  6. Due to the PCM / TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs may cause the MIL to illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown on the list.
  7. When replacing a GPEC PCM for a vehicle that is equipped with a CVT, it is extremely important that the PCM and TCM both have the latest software calibrations.
  8. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 volts during the flash process.
  9. The StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® diagnostic tools fully support Internet connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network. For help on setting up your StarSCAN® / StarMOBILE® for the dealership's network, refer to the StarSCAN® / StarMOBILE® Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'DealerCONNECT Service, StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® Tools On-line Documentation' or at www.dcctools.com, under the download center.
  10. The operating software in the StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® must be programmed with the latest software release level. The software level is visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® Desktop Client screens. For instructions on how to update your scan tool, refer to the StarSCAN® / StarMOBILE® Software Update guide.
