AC/DC Power Outlet Control Module Programming and Setup

This module does not require that a programming event or a setup event be performed.

Power Sliding Door Modules

The unlatching, opening and closing of the power sliding door (PSD) is controlled by the power sliding door module (PSDM). There is one module for each sliding door. In order to continuously monitor the position of its respective sliding door, each module interprets and stores information it receives from the position sensors mounted in the associated power sliding door motor/clutch assembly.

Power Sliding Door Module Reprogramming

Service parts are programmed during the manufacturing process and no additional programming should be necessary. However, in the event that a software change to the PSD is implemented after the start of production, the PSDM can be reprogrammed using the service programming procedure. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .

Power Sliding Door Module Re-Initialization: May Be Due To Related Component Service

If the power sliding door module has been removed and re-installed or if battery positive voltage or ground has been removed from the module for any other reason, follow the power sliding door module replacement initialization procedure.

Service Programming System (SPS)

Review the information below to ensure proper programming protocol.

IMPORTANTDO 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 customer's concern. It is essential that the Tech 2 and the TIS terminal are both equipped with the latest software before performing service programming system (SPS). Some modules will require additional programming/setup events performed before or after programming. Some vehicles may require the use of a CANDi 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

  1. There is not a charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before programming a control module.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Engine cooling Fans, radio, etc.
  5. 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.
  6. Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits: The RS-232 communication cable port. The connection at the data link connector (DLC).
  7. DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programm7ing procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
  8. 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.

Body Control Module Programming and Setup

Each of the following courses of action requires a setup or programming procedure before the body control module (BCM) can be put into normal service.

Body Control Module (BCM) Reprogramming

If the BCM is reprogrammed, the following procedures must be performed

  1. BCM Reprogramming-Refer to «Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration»(ref-241672-S41746577302006081100000) in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup and programming.
  2. Theft Learn-Refer to «Programming Theft Deterrent System Components»(ref-241694-S25732580982006081100000) in Theft Deterrent.

Communication Interface Module (OnStar) Programming and Setup

Each of the following service procedures require programming or setup procedures to be performed on the communication interface module.

Digital Radio Receiver Programming and Setup

Each of the following service procedures require programming or setup procedures to be performed on the digital radio receiver (DRR).

EBCM Reprogramming

If the EBCM needs to be reprogrammed, refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .

Engine Control Module - 3.9L Engine

The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair.

ECM Reprogramming

  1. If the ECM needs to be reprogrammed, refer to ECM Reprogramming. Refer to «Service Programming System (SPS)»(ref-241688-S28852485192007021200000) .
  2. Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
IMPORTANTAfter programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis
  1. Turn the ignition OFF for 30 seconds.
  2. Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules.
  3. Clear all history DTCs.

Garage Door Opener Programming and Setup

The garage door opener (GDO) programming and setup procedures must be performed after replacement. Refer to Garage Door Opener Programming - Universal in Garage Door Opener on how to program the GDO.

HVAC Control Module Programming and Setup

Each of the following service procedures requires programming or setup procedures to be performed on the HVAC control module.

Instrument Panel Cluster Programming and Setup

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) must be setup using the service programming system (SPS). Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .

The driver information center (DIC) must be setup using the compass calibration and variance procedure. Refer to Electronic Compass Calibration in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.

Passenger Presence System Programming and Setup

IMPORTANTBefore 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. 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.

If the PPS is replaced or serviced, perform the rezeroing procedure for the PPS. Refer to Passenger Presence System Rezeroing Procedure for the rezeroing procedure.

Engine Control Module - 3.5L Engine

The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair.

  2. Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
IMPORTANTAfter programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis
  1. Turn the ignition OFF for 30 seconds.
  2. Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules.
  3. Clear all history DTCs.
