Parts Information
No parts are required for this program.
Service Procedure
Tech 2 Legacy or J2534 Pass-Thru Programming Method for the EBCM
Important:
If Tech 2 Legacy or J2534 Pass-Thru programming fails, call Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC). A "Candi" module is necessary.
Calibration Information
CALIBRATION INFORMATION Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GMSPO. The calibration numbers required for this service
procedure are programmed into control modules via a Techline Tech 2(R) scan tool and TIS 2 Web with the calibration update. Use TIS 2 Web version
9.0 for 2007 (available on 09/03/07). If you cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center at 1-800-828-6860 (English) or
1-800-503-3222 (French) and it will be provided.
NOTICE:
Before reprogramming, please check the battery condition to prevent a reprogramming error of any of the modules due to battery discharge. Battery
voltage must be between 12 and 16 volts during reprogramming. If the vehicle battery is not fully charged, use jumper cables from an additional
battery. Be sure to turn off or disable any system that may put a load on the battery, such as automatic headlamps, daytime running lights, interior
lights, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, radio, engine cooling fan, etc. A programming failure or control module damage
may occur if battery voltage guidelines are not observed.
The ignition switch must be in the proper position. The Service Programming System (SPS) application 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:
^
The RS-232 communication cable port
^
The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
^
The voltage supply circuits
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.
1.
Verify that there is a battery charge of 12 to 16 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Use an additional jump
battery if necessary. Only use approved Midtronics charger or Jumper Packs, etc. to maintain proper battery voltage during programming.
2.
Reprogram the electronic brake control module (EBCM). Refer to SI and Service Programming System (SPS) documentation for EBCM
programming instructions, if required.
3.
Saturn Only: If the vehicle is involved in customer satisfaction program 07232 and the repair has not been performed, perform the repair at this
time.
Courtesy Transportation
The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize customer inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered
by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the warranty coverage period
and involved in a product program is very important in maintaining customer satisfaction. Dealers/retailers are to ensure that these customers understand
that shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge. GM Dealers should refer to the General
Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy Transportation guidelines. Saturn US retailers should refer to GM messenger bulletins
SAG20060292/SAG20060295 for Courtesy Transportation guidelines. Saturn Canada retailers should refer to applicable Home Office letter on this
subject.
