Replace and Program Control Module or Reprogram Control Module

To program a replacement or an existing control module, perform the following procedure:

  1. Install EL-49642  SPS programming support tool.
  2. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
      NOTE:
      • Due to a change in SPS you must select 'Reprogram ECU', for Telematics Communication Interface Control Module Programming from the Selected Programming Process even if the unit is being replaced.
      • If 'Replace and Program ECU' is selected the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module will not be listed in the Supported Controllers screen. You must go back and select 'Reprogram ECU'.
  3. In the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Telematics Communication Interface Control Module Programming and Service Activation and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. At the end of programming, choose the "Clear All DTCs" function on the SPS screen.
  5. After Telematics Communication Interface Control Module Programming and Service Activation, if the vehicle is equipped with RPO VV4, on the Supported Controllers screen select Telematics Communication Interface Control Module WiFi Enable (Gen 10 only) Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
    NOTE:

    The WiFi Enable step must be performed AFTER the Programming and Service Activation step, or WiFi will not function. If Programming and Service Activation step is performed after the WiFi Enable step, WiFi will be disabled.

  6. Press the OnStar® Blue Button to call OnStar® and have the system activated. If the customer refused OnStar® services (terms and conditions) and the vehicle is equipped with RPO VV4 have the OnStar® consultant turn off the WiFi demo message that occurs after every ignition on event.
