Programming and Setup - All Systems: Other Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.

Ensure the following conditions are met before programming a control module

1. 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 charged before programming the control module if the battery voltage is low. A battery charger is NOT connected to the vehicle's battery. Incorrect system voltage or voltage fluctuations from a battery charger, may cause programming failure or control module damage. Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a load on the vehicle's 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. Refer to the Owner's manual. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems Engine cooling fans, radio, etc.
2. The ignition switch must be in the proper position. The Tech 2 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.
3. Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits: The control module Serial Data Link Tester The RS-232 communication cable port The connection at the data link connector (DLC) The voltage supply circuits
4. DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
5. 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.

Passenger Presence System (PPS) Rezeroing Procedure

Important

1. Before rezeroing the passenger presence system (PPS), the front passenger seat must be completely empty of all items. The presence of any items on the front passenger seat will affect the calibration and operation of the PPS.
2. When rezeroing the PPS, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) and dash lights will begin dimming on and off. This is normal operation during the rezeroing procedure and does not indicate additional system faults.

1. Empty the front outboard passenger seat.
2. Verify that all supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) and PPS components, connectors and connector position assurances (CPAs) are properly connected and mounted.
3. Install a scan tool.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. Use the scan tool in order to clear the SIR and PPS DTCs.
6. With a scan tool, request the PPS rezeroing procedure.
7. Initiate the PPS rezeroing procedure. The PPS will illuminate both PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicators located on the rearview mirror until the rezeroing procedure has been completed. When the rezeroing procedure has been successfully completed, the PPS will display the current system status at the rearview mirror indicator. If the rezeroing procedure was unsuccessful both PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicators, located on the rearview mirror, will alternate from no illumination to full illumination in 1-second intervals, for 5 seconds. The PPS will treat an unsuccessful rezero attempt as a system fault.
8. If the rezeroing procedure was unsuccessful, repeat this procedure. Due to the communication status between the SDM and the PPS module, this procedure may have to be repeated until a successful rezero attempt has been achieved.
9. After the PPS has been successfully rezeroed, perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(ref-238177-S28692454672006072400000) .
