SSS Software Update - Version 01.00 Update 01.00B (SSS - 01.00B)

SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (SPS)

1. With the release of Saturn SSS software version 1.0, Saturn retailers do not have the ability to effectively program 1992 model year PCM's. If a PCM recalibration is performed using the TIS 2000 application, vehicle functions may be affected, including but not limited to; air conditioning clutch inoperative when A/C is selected. Until updated software has been received, please do not attempt to program any 1992 model year vehicles. In the event that a PCM replacement is needed (i.e., vehicle inoperative) contact Technical Assistance at 800-8282112, Prompt 1, for further instructions.
2. If a "Reprogramming Error!" message is received while attempting to program a 1996 - 1999 PCM, technicians should refer to the following instructions to reprogram the PCM, based on when the message is received:
