STS AWD V6-3.6L (2007)
Use TIS2WEB on or after 1/9/11 to obtain the calibration. If you cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will
be provided.
For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to SI and the Techline Information System (TIS) terminal.
1. Capture and record Engine Oil Life information. Write down remaining oil life as a percentage.
2. Verify that there is a battery charge of 12 to 15 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Only use an approved
Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during
programming.
3. Reprogram the engine control module (ECM). Refer to SI and Service Programming System (SPS) documentation for programming instructions, if
required.
1. Connect the MDI or Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. If using MDI, connect to programming terminal with the cable (USB or LAN).
2. Select J2534 MDI or J2534 Tech 2(R) and Reprogram ECU from the Select Diagnostic Tool and Programming Process screen.
3. Select ECM Engine Control Module-Programming from the Supported Controllers screen.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Clear all DTCs using the Tech 2(R) or GDS.
5. Use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before completing the programming
event.
Note
If a programming failure occurs, refer to Engine Control Module Recovery Steps in this bulletin.
Engine Control Module Recovery Steps
1. Disconnect the programming device.
2. Power down the control modules connected to the GMLAN bus by disconnecting the positive battery cable for 2 minutes.
3. Reconnect the positive battery cable.
4. Determine which programming device will be used to perform the recovery steps.
-
If using MDI, connect to the programming station or Notebook using a cable (LAN). Proceed to Step 5 and then Steps 6-8.
-
If using a Tech 2(R) proceed to Steps 6-8.
5. Reboot the programming station or Notebook. This is to make sure nothing is in memory.
Note
Selecting Replace and Reprogram from the Select Diagnostic Tool and Process Screen is REQUIRED because some of the calibrations may be
erased from the initial attempt to reprogram the module.
6. Reprogram the engine control module. Select Replace and Reprogram from the Select Diagnostic Tool and Process Screen.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the programming event.
8. Clear all DTCs using the Tech 2(R) or GDS.
Note
Repeat Steps 1-8 above IF another programming failure occurs. If the second attempt to reprogram in unsuccessful when following the Steps 1-8 above,
then contact Techline Customer Support Center.
SEQ Programming Sequence ECM/TCM (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK)
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GM Customer Care and Aftersales. The calibration numbers required for this service procedure are
programmed into control modules via a Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) or Tech 2(R) and TIS2WEB with the calibration update. When using a
MDI or Tech 2(R) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software version.
Use TIS2WEB on or after 02/21/11 to obtain the calibration. If you cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will
be provided.
