GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Make sure the battery icon at the bottom right of the GDS laptop shows at least 50%, if not charge the GDS or attach a battery charger.

NOTE: Make sure the vehicle battery is above 12 volts before attempting an ECU Update, particularly on vehicles in inventory stock that have been in storage. Insufficient vehicle battery charge may result in failed ECU Update and ECU damage. The ECU claim may be denied in this circumstance.

Connect the USB cable between the GDS and the VCI.
Connect the 16-pin DLC connector from the VCI into the DLC located under the driver's side dash.
Turn off all lights (Do not leave the headlight switch in auto mode) and all accessories (including heater/air conditioner/fan, audio, heated seats, rear defroster, etc) to ensure the battery will not be discharged during the update.
Perform the update with the ignition key in the ON position. (Turn the ignition key to ON position or press the Start-Stop Button two times without depressing the brake pedal).
Do not disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or the GDS during the update.
Do not start the engine or turn the ignition switch OFF during the update.

NOTE: Confirm your PC-based GDS has the most recent version. If not, connect the GDS to an Internet port, open the GDS home page and select "Update". Refer to instructions on hmaservice.com if necessary.
If you encounter GDS related problems, call the GIT Helpline at 888-437-0308.

Select ENGINE, A/T or appropriate system and then select OK.
Select Auto Mode and then select Next.
From the System tab, select appropriate system and then select OK. The GDS will read the ROM ID. Confirm the ROM is applicable as in "ROM ID Information" table of the specific TSB.
NOTE: Record the ROM ID in case the auto update fails and a manual update is needed.
Applicable update event will display. Select Upgrade.
If the screen indicates "Voltage is OK" (voltage > 12volts), select OK. If not, select CANCEL and charge the vehicle battery by running the engine for 10 minutes.
Updating will occur until 100% is reached on the bar graph. At the prompt, turn the ignition key OFF for 10 seconds, then turn it ON and select OK.
The GDS will confirm that updating has successfully finished. Select OK.
If the update was not successful, go to GDS MANUAL MODE ECU UPDATE PROCEDURE .
Check for DTCs in all systems and erase all DTCs that stored due to loss of CAN communication during the ECU Update.
Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds, then turn ON before starting the engine.
Start the engine to confirm proper operation.
Clear any DTCs in the BlueLink system per instructions of TSB 12-BE-005-2.

In the event of AUTO MODE update failure:
- You must attempt MANUAL MODE. Use the ECU P/N from the vehicle's ECU label if it is not clear from the ROM ID Table as to the correct ECU P/N to use for your vehicle.
- Replacing an ECU without carefully documenting that a MANUAL MODE update attempt was made may result in claims charged back.
