WARNING: This procedure is a DRAFT, although it has been validated. Warnings and Cautions might be missing. Follow safety requirements and use extreme caution when working on or near high voltage systems and components. Provide corrections and feedback to ServiceDevelopment@teslamotors.com.

NOTE: Note Procedure for the replacement of the B-pillar camera HW4 is the same as the B-pillar applique. See Applique - B-Pillar - LH (Remove and Replace).

Perform the following steps after the replacement of the camera:

HW4 cameras only: Run the camera connection test to update the new camera's firmware.

NOTE: DAS Cameras are not CAN modules and cannot be updated via firmware reinstall or "Part Replacement Deploy".

Locally connect a laptop with Toolbox 3 to the vehicle.
Click on the Actions tab, search for "calibration mode", and then Run the DAS Enter Calibration Mode routine.
Click on the Actions tab, search for "camera connection test", and then Run the routine that corresponds with the camera that was replaced (e.g., Left B-Pillar Camera Connection Test or Front Camera Connection Test) .
NOTE: The forward facing bi-camera assembly consists of two individual cameras that must be updated separately: Front Camera Connection Test and Fisheye Camera Connection Test. Make sure to update firmware on the cameras that were replaced.

NOTE: If 2 versions of the same routine are displayed, Run the routine that contains "-SCRIPT" in the "Path" field.

In the Camera Connection Test prompt, change the "Timeout" to "100", and then Run the routine.

NOTE: This routine will update the camera's firmware and then confirm that the camera is connected.
