EL-49642:  SPS Programming Support Tool

For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to the techline information system (TIS) terminal.

Review the information below to ensure proper programming protocol.

NOTE:
  • DO NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service procedure or you are directed by a General Motors Corporation service bulletin. Programming a control module at any other time will not permanently correct a customers concern.
  • It is essential that the TIS terminal, MDI, and/or Scan Tool, is equipped with the latest software before performing service programming.
  • Due to the time requirements of programming a controller, install EL-49642  PSC550 Battery Charger to maintain system voltage. See Special Tools . Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. If the above tool is not available, connect a fully charged 12V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
  • Some modules will require additional programming/setup events to be performed before or after programming.
  • Some vehicles may require the use of a CANDi or MDI module for programming.
  • Review the appropriate service information for these procedures.
  • DTCs may set during programming. Clear DTCs after programming is complete.
  • Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.

Ensure the following conditions are met before programming a control module:
