Important: * To avoid warranty transaction rejections, carefully read and follow the instructions below:
Page 2 of 15
Customer Satisfaction Program
N242436241 Multiple Module Reprogramming
6125814
• The Warranty Claim Code from the programming event must be accurately entered in the “Warranty Claim
Code” field of the transaction.
Warranty Claim Code Information Retrieval
6125774
If the Warranty Claim Code was not recorded on the Job Card, the code can be retrieved in the SPS2 system as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Open TLC on the computer used to program the vehicle.
Select and start SPS2.
Select Settings (1).
Select the Warranty Claim Code tab (2).
The VIN, Warranty Claim Code and Date/Time will be listed on a roster of recent programming events. If the code is
retrievable, dealers should resubmit the transaction making sure to include the code in the SPS Warranty Claim Code
field.
Service Procedure
Caution: Before downloading the update files, be sure the computer is connected to the internet through a network cable
(hardwired). DO NOT DOWNLOAD or install the files wirelessly. If there is an interruption during programming,
programming failure or control module damage may occur.
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
Page 3 of 15
Customer Satisfaction Program
N242436241 Multiple Module Reprogramming
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.
•
Follow the on-screen prompts regarding ignition power mode, but ensure that anything that drains excessive power
(exterior lights, HVAC blower motor, etc) is off.
•
Please verify that the radio time and date are set correctly before inserting USB drive into vehicle for programming,
otherwise an error will result.
•
Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
system status indicators to NO.
Important: The service technician always needs to verify that the VIN displayed in the TLC left side drop down menu and
the top center window match the VIN plate of the vehicle to be programmed prior to using Service Programming System
2 (SPS2) for programming or reprogramming a module.
•
For the TLC application, service technicians need to always ensure that the power mode (ignition) is “ON” before
reading the VIN from the vehicle’s VIN master module and that they do not select a VIN that is already in the TLC
application memory from a previous vehicle.
•
If the VIN that shows up in the TLC top center window after correctly reading the VIN from the vehicle does not match
the VIN plate of the vehicle, manually type in the VIN characters from the vehicle VIN plate into the TLC top center
window and use these for programming or reprogramming the subject module with the correct vehicle VIN and
software and/or calibrations.
•
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is the master module (for VIP vehicles) that TLC reads to determine the VIN of
the vehicle. If the VIN read from the vehicle by TLC does not match the VIN plate of the vehicle, the ECM also needs
to be reprogrammed with the correct VIN, software and calibrations that match the vehicle’s VIN plate.
•
The Body Control Module (BCM) is the master module (for GEM vehicles) that TLC reads to determine the VIN of
the vehicle. If the VIN read from the vehicle by TLC does not match the VIN plate of the vehicle, the BCM also needs
to be reprogrammed with the correct VIN, software and calibrations that match the vehicle’s VIN plate.
Caution: Be sure the VIN selected in the drop down menu (1) is the same as the vehicle connected (2) before beginning
programming.

Important: If the vehicle VIN DOES NOT match, the message below will be shown.

Important: Techline Connect screens shown above.
Important: If the same calibration/software warning is noted on the TLC Summary screen, select OK and follow
screen instructions. After a successful programming event, the WCC is located in the Service Programming System
dialogue box of the SPS Summary screen. No further action is required. Refer to the Warranty section of the bulletin.
Important: Body Control Module MUST be the first module programmed. After completion, Radio USB and SPS
programming MUST be the second module programmed. Then, continue reprogramming all equipped modules
shown in the “Select Controller” section of SPS2 in Techline Connect.
Important: Using a USB wired connection between PC and MDI2 for the following procedure is highly recommended.
This is recommended due to the large file sizes being transferred between the PC and MDI2.
Important: Clearing the SPS Cache before programming will help with potential errors that may occur.
1. Launch SPS.

the programming event to fail.
USB 3.0 & above with FAT32 format.
Minimum size 16GB, maximum size 32GB.
Important: USB flash drive MUST BE FORMATTED with Windows prior to programming.
Important: After Radio USB programming is complete, verify the software version on Radio Screen matches the
current version shown on the Warranty Claim Code (WCC) screen in Techline Connect (TLC). Refer to the WCC
screen for instructions on how to navigate to the software version within the Radio menu.
