B. Reprogram the Tipm Module Using StarMOBILE

NOTE:
The StarMOBILE can be used in Standalone mode when reprogramming all involved models except Wranglers equipped with a disconnecting stabilizer bar (sway bar) (sales code SHG). StarMOBILE must be used in the connected mode to reprogram Wrangler models with the disconnecting stabilizer bar (sway bar) option.

1. Open the hood and install a battery charger. Verify that the charging rate provides approximately 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

2. Connect the StarMOBILE scan tool to the vehicle data link connector located under the steering column and turn the ignition key to the "RUN" position.
