Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement or Reprogramming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the sensing and diagnostic control module (SDM) is replaced or needs to be reprogrammed, programming must be performed. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) . Ensure the following conditions exist in order to prepare for module programming:

  1. The battery is fully charged.
  2. The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
  3. The Techline equipment cable connection at the data link connector (DLC) is secure.
  4. Program the control module using the latest software matching the vehicle. Refer to up-to-date Techline equipment user instructions.

If the control module fails to program, proceed as follows:

  1. Ensure the DLC and APM connections are good.
  2. Inspect the Techline equipment for the latest software version.
  3. Attempt to program the control module. If the control module still cannot be programmed properly, replace the control module.
