AUDIO AMPLIFIER PROGRAMMING AND SETUP
Replace and Program Control Module or Reprogram Control Module
This control module does not require SPS programming or any setup procedures.
BODY CONTROL 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.

Replace and Program Control Module
To program a replacement K9 Body Control Module (BCM), perform the following
procedure:
- Install EL-49642 SPS programming support tool.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle ignition switch state is in appropriate
position for
the following step.
- For Key Ignition System, begin with the ignition in the RUN position.
- For Push Button Start System, begin with the vehicle in vehicle OFF
power mode. The Service Programming System will power mode the
vehicle.
- Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen
instructions.
- On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K9 Body Control Module -
Programming and follow the
on-screen instructions.
- Perform the following for the appropriate ignition type prior to
proceeding with the next step:
- Key Ignition System: Key in the ignition and any additional keys must be
away from the vehicle at
least 3 m.
- Push Button Start System: Keyless entry transmitter must be in the
programming pocket. Refer to
the owner manual for the exact pocket location. All additional transmitters
must be away from the
vehicle at least 3 m.
NOTE: The following programming step may take between 10-12 min and
progress will appear to have stopped during this process. This is a normal
security timer response and a restart should not be performed. If the DTC
B389A set immediately after programming a replacement BCM, the
Immobilizer Learn procedure was not properly completed. The Immobilizer
Learn procedure needs to be performed again.
- On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IMMO Immobilizer Learn -
Setup. On the next screen,
select Body Control Module IMMO Learn with Existing Transponder or Remote
Key and follow the onscreen
instructions. When Immobilizer Learn is complete, press the Unlock button on
the keyless entry
transmitter to allow the keyless entry transmitter to exit the Immobilizer
Learn mode.
NOTE: When performing the Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Learn
during BCM
setup, the EL-46079 tire pressure monitor diagnostic tool must be used to
activate each tire pressure sensor for vehicles with UJM.
- For Key Ignition System, begin with the ignition in the RUN position.
- For Push Button Start System, begin with the vehicle in vehicle ON
power mode.
- On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K9 Body Control Module -
Setup (or K9 Body Control
Module - Configuration & Setup) and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Check the driver information center display for additional messages
regarding further calibration
instructions. If there are no additional driver information center
instructions present, programming is
complete.
- At the end of programming, choose the "Clear DTCs" function on the SPS
screen.
- If ABS, Traction Control and/or Stabilitrak indicators are ON and DTC
C0161 is set in the K17
Electronic Brake Control Module after performing BCM programming and setup,
do the following:
- Disconnect the scan tool from the X84 Data Link Connector.
- Ignition OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all
keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft)
away from the vehicle. It may take up to 2 min to power down.
- Ignition ON, verify DTC C0161 is in history. If not, repeat the above
step to make sure the vehicle
is in sleep mode.
- Use the scan tool to clear the DTCs.
Reprogram Control Module
To program an existing K9 Body Control Module, perform the following
procedure:
- Install EL-49642 SPS programming support tool.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle ignition switch state is in appropriate
position for
the following step.
- For Key Ignition System, begin with the ignition in the RUN position.
- For Push Button Start System, begin with the vehicle in vehicle ON
power mode.
- Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen
instructions.
- On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K9 Body Control Module -
Programming and follow the
on-screen instructions.
NOTE: When performing the Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Learn during
BCM
setup, the EL-46079 tire pressure monitor diagnostic tool must be used to
activate each tire pressure sensor for vehicles with UJM.
- On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K9 Body Control Module -
Setup (or K9 Body Control
Module - Configuration & Setup) and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Check the driver information center display for additional messages
regarding further calibration
instructions. If there are no additional driver information center
instructions present, programming is
complete.
- At the end of programming, choose the "Clear DTCs" function on the SPS
screen.
- If ABS, Traction Control and/or Stabilitrak indicators are ON and DTC
C0161 is set in the K17
Electronic Brake Control Module after performing BCM programming and setup,
do the following:
- Disconnect the scan tool from the X84 Data Link Connector.
- Ignition OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all
keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft)
away from the vehicle. It may take up to 2 min to power down.
- Ignition ON, verify DTC C0161 is in history. If not, repeat the above
step to make sure the vehicle
is in sleep mode.
- Use the scan tool to clear the DTCs.
Unsuccessful Programming Recovery
In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the
following steps:
- Ignition ON. Ensure the control module, DLC and programming tool
connections are secure and the SPS
software is up to date.
- Verify the control module can be reprogrammed.
If the control module cannot be reprogrammed
- Ignition OFF for one minute, ignition ON.
- Verify the control module can be reprogrammed.
- If the control module cannot be reprogrammed, replace the control
module.
- If the control module can be reprogrammed.
- All OK.
- If the control module can be reprogrammed
- All OK.
