WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Savana Special, 2003 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2003 GMC Savana, 2003 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2003 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The powertrain may operate slightly different after a control module software/calibration update. Operating the powertrain through various driving conditions allows the control module to re-learn certain values. The control module must re-learn the following after a software/calibration update:

Fuel trim correction
Idle air control (IAC) learned position
Automatic transmission shift adapts

Other learned values only re-learn by performing a service procedure.

If a control module is replaced the following service procedures may need to be performed:

The crankshaft variation learn procedure
The engine oil life reset procedure
The idle learn procedure
The inspection/maintenance complete system set procedure
The vehicle theft deterrent password learn procedure
The throttle position (TP) sensor learn procedure
