For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
Note:
- DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure
or a service bulletin. If the ECU is not properly configured with the correct
calibration software, the ECU will not control all of the vehicle features
properly.
- Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and
is securely connected to the data link connector. If there is an interruption
during programming, programming failure or ECU damage may occur.
- Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation,
spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install
the EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool?€‰to maintain system voltage.
If not available, connect a fully charged 12?€‰V jumper or booster pack
disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.
- Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery
such as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights),
HVAC, radio, etc.
- During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct
power mode.
- Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will
set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.
- Diagnostic Aids
-
The air bag indicator light may remain ON after the body control module (BCM),
or SDM is replaced, and during the programming procedure for the BCM until after
the procedure is completed. When installing a new SDM, there may be several
DTCs set prior to programming. Once programmed, these DTCs should be history
and can be cleared.
