Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) Programming

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 69 other vehicles, including the 1999 Saturn SW2, 1999 Saturn SW1, 1999 Saturn SL2, 1999 Saturn SL1, and 1999 Saturn SL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If Vehicle Control Module (VCM) was replaced, the EEPROM in the VCM must be programmed. If EEPROM is not programmed, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set in the VCM.
  2. Ensure battery is fully charged. Ensure cable is properly connected on Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Perform EEPROM programming using the Techline equipment manufacturer's instructions and latest software applicable for the vehicle model.
  3. Once EEPROM is reprogrammed, Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor variation learn procedure and password learn procedure for anti-theft system must be performed using proper procedure.
    NOTE: If EEPROM programming fails, ensure all electrical connections on VCM are okay. Check Techline for latest software. If EEPROM programming still fails, replace VCM.
  4. Once Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor variation learn procedure and password learn procedure for anti-theft system are performed, perform powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See POWERTRAIN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
