Setup New IPM/RIM

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

This procedure will allow the user to compare the IPM and rear integration module (RIM) vehicle configuration data. The IPM is the master for storing vehicle configuration and a backup copy is retained in the RIM. If a fault occurs in either module, this test will do a comparison of data and the user will then be able to update the data in the module that was replaced.

To set up a new IPM, perform 'Setup New IPM/RIM' procedure under Vehicle Control Systems > Computer/Integrating Systems > Module Setup > IPM menus on the scan tool.

Excepting the Export Country option, which is slightly different, the screen will display 4 columns. The user will be able to scroll up and down with the up and down arrow keys in all columns. The user will be able to scroll through options available to that name/function in the fourth column with the left and right arrow keys. The first column will display the function of the option. The second column will display RIM data and the third column will display IPM data. The fourth and final column will display all options available for that name/function. The user will compare the RIM to the IPM data or the IPM to the RIM data depending on which module was replaced. If the user replaces the IPM, the user will scroll through the options with the left and right arrow keys in the fourth column and match that option with the option set in the RIM column. Likewise, if the user replaces the RIM, the user will scroll through the options with the left and right arrow keys in the fourth column and match that option with the option set in the IPM column.
