ECU Replacement

Use the ECU replacement feature whenever installing a 
new service ECU on the vehicle. Follow the guided 
procedures in Digital Wrench to perform the ECU 
replacement procedure.

NOTE:  The ECU replacement function initializes the 
new service ECU. Service ECUs cannot be reflashed 
without first performing this procedure.

The procedure copies the model ID number from the 
original ECU, and then copies it to the new service ECU.

IMPORTANT:  The procedure cannot be reversed once 
the model ID number is copied to the new service 
ECU. The service ECU will forever retain the model ID 
number copied on it using this procedure. 

If communication with the original ECU cannot be 
established, Digital Wrench will guide the user through a 
manual model ID selection procedure. Pay careful 
attention to the model selected when using the manual 
procedure.

After completing the ECU replacement procedure, reflash 
the ECU with the current ECU calibration file for the 
vehicle using the engine controller reprogramming 
procedure.

NOTE: ECU replacement only copies the model ID 
number to the new service ECU. Vehicle history and 
calibration files are not copied over.

Engine Controller Reprogramming (Reflash)

Process Overview

The reprogramming feature is in the Special Tests menu 
on the Digital Wrench™ screen. Start Digital Wrench™ 
and click on the Special Tests menu icon (red tool box). A 
technician should be familiar with the process and with 
computer operation in general before attempting to 
reprogram an ECU.

The Digital Wrench™ Engine Controller Reprogramming 
(or “Reflash”) feature allows reprogramming of the ECU 
fuel and ignition map. To successfully reprogram the ECU, 
an Authorization Key must be obtained by entering a 
Request Code in the box provided on the Reflash 
Authorization site. The Request Code is automatically 
generated by Digital Wrench™ during the reprogramming 
process. The Reflash Authorization site is located under 
the “Service and Warranty” drop down menu on the 
dealer website at: www.polarisdealers.com

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the reprogramming 
instructions completely and correctly can result in an 
engine that does not run! Replacement ECUs are 
programmed as “no-start” and require a reflash for 
them to work.

Reprogramming (Reflash) Tips:

• BATTERY VOLTAGE: The majority of problems 

with reprogramming can be attributed to a low 
battery. Be sure the battery voltage (no load) is at 
least 13 volts and at least 12.5 volts with the key 
‘ON’. Connect a battery charger if necessary to 
bring voltage level above minimum. Fully charge 
the battery before you attempt to reprogram.

• DEDICATED LAPTOP: Best results are obtained 

using a laptop computer that is “dedicated to 
Digital Wrench™”. A laptop that is used by a 
variety of people and in several applications 
around the dealership is more likely to cause a 
reprogramming problem than one dedicated to 
Digital Wrench™ diagnostics only.

• OBTAINING THE LATEST UPDATE: 

Reprogramming updates are provided periodically 
and contain the most recent calibrations (see 
“Digital Wrench™ Updates”).

• CLOSE NON-ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS: Polaris 

recommends that you DO NOT install non-
essential programs on a Service Department 
laptop. Camera detection software, Virus 
Scanners, Tool Bars, etc. may clog up memory if 
running in the background and make it harder for 
the diagnostic software to operate.

• KNOW THE PROCESS: If you are not familiar with 

the entire reprogramming process, review the 
HELP section of the diagnostic software before 
you attempt reprogramming. Click on the ? on the 
tool bar or press F11. The information in the on-
line help is the most current and complete 
information available. This should be your first 
step until you are familiar with the process. 

• COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS: If you have had 

problems communicating with a vehicle while 
performing diagnostic functions, do not attempt 
reprogramming until the cause has been identified 
and fixed. Check all connections, and be sure 
battery voltage is as specified. 


Proceed to http://polaris.diagsys.com for 
specific information and FAQs on how to 
troubleshoot communication problems.

• DON’T DISTURB THE PC: While reprogramming 

is in progress, don’t move the mouse and don’t 
touch the keyboard. The process only takes a few 
minutes, and is best left alone until complete.

NOTE: 

New service replacement ECUs are 

programmed as “no-start” and must be reflashed for 
the engine and fuel injector code.

1.

Verify the most current update is downloaded and 
loaded into Digital Wrench. 

2.

Connect the communication cables to the 
snowmobile connectors.

the same color code.


The most-current reflash files will be located at the 
top of the list and will not have “SUPERSEDED” in 
the file name.


Files with “SUPERSEDED” in the file name denote 
older calibrations.

7.

A request code will be generated. Record the code.
