Condition

Some technicians may comment that during any module programming event that is followed by SDAC (Serial Data Authentication Configuration), the K45 PCM (Powertrain
Control Module) has the potential to fail SDAC and DTC U1962 will set.
If this occurs it is not possible to recover the PCM and it will need to be replaced.

Cause

The cause of the condition may be a software bug in the K45 PCM.

Correction

Before programming any modules on the vehicle, ensure the PCM software is up to date.

Service Procedure
Important: Service agents must comply with all
International, Federal, State, Provincial, and/or
Local laws applicable to the activities it performs
under this bulletin, including but not limited to
handling, deploying, preparing, classifying,
packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping
dangerous goods. In the event of a conflict
between the procedures set forth in this bulletin
and the laws that apply to your dealership, you
must follow those applicable laws.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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

Bulletin No.: 24-NA-128
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.

Caution: Be sure the VIN selected in the drop down
menu (1) is the same as the vehicle connected (2)
before beginning programming.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
