- VDAAW Module Calibration - Refer to Vehicle Direction Alert Alarm Warning Module Calibration
When using SPS to program the VDAAW, connect the vehicle to the TIS terminal using a Candi module, Tech 2, and RS232 cable. Using the MDI to SPS program the VDAAW will result in a failure to complete the programming operation.
