- Vehicle system voltage: There is not a charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before programming a control module. Battery voltage is greater than 12 volts but less than 16 volts. The battery must be fully charged before programming the control module. Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a load on the vehicles battery, such as the following components: Interior lights Exterior lights including daytime running lights (DRL)-Applying the parking brake, on most vehicles, disables the DRL system Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems Engine cooling fans Radio, etc.
- The ignition switch must be in the proper position. SPS prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
- Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits: Scan Tool The RS-232 communication cable port The connection at the data link connector (DLC) The voltage supply circuits
- MDI The USB, Ethernet or Wireless communication port The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
- DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the following steps
- DO NOT turn the ignition OFF. Ensure that all control module and DLC connections are secure and the TIS terminal operating software is up to date.
- Attempt to reprogram the control module.
- If the control module can still not be programmed, turn the ignition OFF for at least one minute.
- Turn the ignition ON and attempt to reprogram the control module. The control module should program. If the control module still cannot be programmed, replace the control module.
After successfully programming the control module, ensure that all post programming procedures are performed; refer to Control Module References for the appropriate control module Programming and Setup document for any required procedures.
Sunroof Control Module Programming and Setup
When replacing the sunroof motor/control module, the sunroof motor/actuator initialization/teach procedure must be followed.
Initialization and Learn Procedures
In order for the sunroof system to perform correctly it needs to establish its position and the force profile it will encounter under normal closing conditions. These two procedures need to be run when a new controller is placed on a vehicle, when a service procedure is performed on any mechanical component, or if the system seems to lose track of its known position.
Initialization and Reinitialization
When the sunroof controller is not initialized it will perform all OPEN requests, but no LIN-Bus communicated close commands. It will only perform a CLOSE operation requested by the switch with obstacle detection disabled. If an initialization procedure is interrupted the controllers will return to the not initialized state. Which procedure is run depends on the state of the controller.
For a module which is not initialized begin the process by holding the sunroof switch in the CLOSE position. The sunroof will move to the end of physical travel in the closed direction and store that position. During this time it is necessary to keep the switch active until the process completes. At the completion of the procedure the sunroof should back off slightly to its soft stops. The rest of the defined positions are determined by offsets from this home position.
For a module which has been previously initialized release the switch after the sunroof is considered fully closed by the software. Then hold the sunroof switch in the closed position for 10 s. The sunroof shall resume motion in the CLOSE direction until the end of travel is detected. During this time it is necessary to keep the switch active until the process completes. At the completion of the procedure the sunroof should back off slightly to its soft stops.
Theft Deterrent Module Programming and Setup
The theft deterrent module only acts as an exciter and antenna, energizing the key transponder and receiving the key code information. Because the immobilizer software is contained in the Body Control Module (BCM), the theft deterrent module requires no programming or setup after replacement.
Window Motor Normalized Procedure
A window motor that has not been normalized will no longer perform the express up and express down functions, this may occur during the following conditions
- When a window motor has been disconnected
- When a door harness has been disconnected
- When the battery has been disconnected or replaced
Note. When DTC B3205 4B & 3210 4B are set, the following warnings will be displayed on the driver information center: Open, then Close Driver Window Open, then Close Passenger Window These warnings will clear once the windows have been "Normalized" and the respective DTC will clear.
To normalize the window motor, follow these steps
- Ignition ON.
- Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
- Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.
The window should now be normalized and the window should perform the express up and express down functions.
Window Motor Relearn Procedure
A relearn procedure may need to be performed for any Local Interconnect Network (LIN) window motor for the following conditions
- When the window glass is out of alignment
- When the window glass has been replaced
- When the door has been replaced
- When the window regulator has been replaced
Note. Prior to performing the relearn procedure the vehicle must have all 4 wheels properly inflated and mounted, the vehicle must be sitting on a level surface and all doors must be completely closed.
To relearn the window motor, follow these steps
- Ignition ON.
- With a scan tool, select Module Diagnosis, Body Control Module, Configuration/Reset Functions and then select the appropriate Clear Window Learn Values for the window motor requiring the relearn procedure.
- After the learn procedure, exit the scan tool learn procedure completely, the power window cannot be normalized and will not function until you exit the program.
- Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
- Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.
The window is now reprogrammed.
