Buick Encore: Object alarm module programming and setup
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.
