Blower Control Module Programming and Setup
The blower control module requires no programming or setup procedures.
Introduction
A new body control module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper RPO configurations. The BCM stores the information regarding the vehicle options and if the BCM is not properly configured with the correct RPO codes, the BCM will not control all of the features properly. The Tech 2 software will automatically prompt you with the RPOs available for the vehicle. Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for BCM programming
- The battery is fully charged.
- The ignition mode switch is in the ON position.
- All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected before programming.
A new BCM installed in the vehicle may set the DTC B1001 00 and DTC C0278 0. This is a normal condition and DTCs will clear after the BCM Setup and BPP Sensor Calibration procedures are performed.
| IMPORTANT | The following procedures must be performed in the order listed |
- BCM Setup
- BPP Sensor Calibration
BCM Setup
| IMPORTANT | After the procedure is completed, the personalization settings of the BCM are set to a default setting. Inform the customer that the personalization must be set again. Always perform this procedure after BCM or SDM replacement. A new BCM may set DTC B1001 00 before performing this procedure. This is a normal condition and DTCs will clear after the procedure is performed. |
Follow the instructions on the scan tool for BCM Setup to perform this procedure.
During this procedure, besides RPO configuration, the BCM relearns the restraints ID.
BPP Sensor Calibration
| IMPORTANT | Always perform this procedure after the BCM was reprogrammed or after the brake pedal position sensor was replaced. Do not press the brake pedal during the programming procedure. A current DTC C0278 set by BCM before performing this procedure is a normal condition. The DTC will clear after the procedure is performed. |
Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration .
Communication Interface Module Programming and Setup
Each of the following service procedures require programming or setup procedures to be performed on the communication interface module.
Communication Interface Module Replacement
| IMPORTANT | The communication interface module (CIM) has a specific set of unique numbers that tie the module to a specific vehicle. These numbers, a 10-digit station identification (STID), and an 11-digit electronic serial number (ESN) or an 18 digit manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are used by OnStar® and the cellular network to identify the specific vehicle. Because these numbers are exclusive to the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, these parts should NOT be exchanged with those of another vehicle. After replacing the CIM, it is essential to re-configure the OnStar® system. Failure to re-configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar® system and may result in a DTC to be set, a red LED and limited or incomplete OnStar® services. Use of the TIS 2 Web SPS application and the Tech 2 are required in order to perform the CIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar Center, without a button press by the technician to the center. It may take up to 24 hours for the OnStar® service to become fully activated after performing the TIS 2 Web and Tech 2 setup procedures. Perform the OnStar® Activation procedure only once. Repeat attempts at performing the procedure may result in a delay of the activation process. The Tech 2 setup procedure must begin immediately upon completion of programming. Any delay between the procedures may result in incomplete setup or activation of the CIM. |
- Connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle.
- Connect the Techline Information System (TIS) terminal to the Tech 2.
- Select the OnStar® Activation programming option using the service programming system (SPS).
- Upon completion of the OnStar® Activation programming event, disconnect the TIS terminal from the Tech 2 and perform the CIM/OnStar Set-up Procedure using the Tech 2.
- The default language for the new CIM is English. Changing the language capability to French or Spanish is supported by service programming system (SPS) and by Tech 2 special functions. Changing the language capability is also dependent on the generation of the replacement OnStar module.
Inform the customer that it may take up to 24 hours for the OnStar® service to become fully activated after performing the TIS 2 Web and Tech 2 setup procedures.

Service Programming System (SPS)
For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to the techline information system (TIS) terminal.
Review the information below to ensure proper programming protocol.
| IMPORTANT | 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 Tech 2, MDI and the TIS terminal are all equipped with the latest software before performing service programming. Due to the time requirements of programming a controller, it is recommended that an external power source be used to maintain system voltage. Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. To ensure trouble-free programming, GM recommends using one of the following external power sources: A Midtronics PSC charger A fully charged 12V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply Some modules will require additional programming/setup events 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
- 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: Twilight sentinel Interior lights 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: Tech 2 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.
- DO NOT turn OFF the ignition if the programming procedure is interrupted or unsuccessful. 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 cannot be programmed, replace the control module.
