INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
This provides step-by-step module configuration procedures. Carry out the programmable module installation (PMI) procedure when another Vehicle
System directs to carry out configuration or when DTCs from the given list are present. See: Programming and Relearning/Programmable Module
Installation
Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
Configurable modules accommodate a variety of vehicle options, eliminating the need for many unique modules for one vehicle line. These modules
must be configured when replaced as part of a repair procedure.
Configurable modules should not be exchanged between vehicles since the settings are unique to each vehicle. Failure to configure a new module may
result in improper operation and/or any of the following DTCs setting:
-
B2477 - sets when a body/chassis module is not configured or is configured incorrectly.
-
B2900 - sets when there is a VIN mismatch between the module with the B2900 and the PCM. The stored VIN in either module may be incorrect.
-
P0602, P0605 and/or P1639 - sets when the PCM vehicle identification (VID) block is not configured.
-
U0300 and/or U0301 - sets when the configuration between 2 or more modules do not match.
-
U2050 and/or U2051 - sets when a valid strategy/calibration is not present.
The following are the 3 different methods of configuration:
-
Programmable module installation (PMI)
-
Module reprogramming ("flashing")
-
Programmable parameters
Some modules do not support all 3 methods.
Definition of Terms
The following are definitions of configuration terms:
Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the original
module and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for
As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a
strategy/calibration update is available. Module reprogramming is carried out through the vehicle data link connector (DLC).
NOTE: It is important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing any modules. The new module must
be able to communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI. See: Programming and Relearning/Programmable Module Installation
To carry out PMI, refer to Programmable Module Installation. See: Programming and Relearning/Programmable Module Installation
