Description of Revisions: This bulletin replaces the version dated
12/20/2018. Information is added about configuring vehicle
hardware.
General Information
DiagnosticLink supports programming of both chassis and powertrain ECUs. It may be necessary to perform
additional steps prior to the programming of a chassis ECU. When a chassis ECU is programmed using
"Program Device" in DiagnosticLink, the ECU will be programmed with the most recent parameter sets and
software from the server. This process will overwrite the parameters and software previously installed on the
ECU.
When it is necessary to retain the parameter information contained within a chassis ECU on the vehicle, vehicle
parameters should be read and uploaded to the server prior to downloading unit data and flashing the ECU.
The data can then be re-downloaded from the server before programming the controller.
IMPORTANT: This process should not be performed if there are parameters on the vehicle that are
not intended to be recorded in a service record. Only 1 service record per ECU, per vehicle, can be
stored on the server. Once a new service record is created, the old record is lost.
DO NOT follow the process described in this document:
• when performing the initial programming of a spare part ECU; and
• when attempting to recover an incorrectly parameterized ECU.
Programming ECUs in DiagnosticLink
1. Park the vehicle, shut down the engine, and apply the parking brakes. Chock the tires.
2. Connect the vehicle to DiagnosticLink. Make sure that DiagnosticLink is updated to the latest version,
8.09sp2. To update DiagnosticLink, select "Update" from the dropdown menu under "Tools." See Fig. 1.

Fig. 1, Updating DiagnosticLink to the Latest Version
IMPORTANT: Before performing this procedure, make sure to address any pre-existing conditions or
fault codes first.
It is recommended when flashing to configure DiagnosticLink to connect only to "Default" modules,
and stay in this configuration unless it is specifically needed to manually connect to the Common
Telematics Platform (cTP) ECU. Default modules allow DiagnosticLink to connect only to the modules
that need flashing, and ignores things like the cTP or the steering angle sensor.
To make this change in DiagnosticLink:
• From the top click "Tools", and select "Options" form the drop down menu.
Find and select the "Connection" tab.
Click the "Select Defaults" box on the right side of the tab, and hit "Apply."
3. Select "Program Device." If there are any items in the section "Request Pending" downloads, they should
be removed. To remove them, select the "Request Pending" list item, then press the "Remove" button. See
Fig. 2.
