therefore this may take multiple attempts.
• Contact TCSC if programming assistance is required.
Note: Carefully read and follow the instructions below.
•
Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and is securely connected to the data link connector. If
there is an interruption during programming, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
•
Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt
programming. Install a GM Authorized Programming Support Tool to maintain system voltage. Refer to
www.gmdesolutions.com for further information. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack![]()
disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.
