For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
Note:
- DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure
or a service bulletin. If the control module is not properly configured
with the correct calibration software, the control module will not control
all of the vehicle features properly.
- Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and
is securely connected to the data link connector. If there is an interruption
during programming, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
- Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation,
spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. When
required install the EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool to maintain
system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or
booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery
charger.
- Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery
such as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights),
HVAC, radio, etc.
- During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct
ignition switch position.
- Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will
set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.
- Note the engine oil life remaining percentage.
