IMPORTANT:
^ Do NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service procedure or you are directed by a General Motors Corporation service bulletin. Programming a control module at any other time will not permanently correct a customer's concern.
^ The Off-Board Programming is used in situations where a control module must be programmed without having the vehicle present. The Off-Board Programming Adapter must be used to perform the Off-Board Programming procedure. The adapter allows the control module to power up and allows the Tech 2(TM) to communicate with the control module.
^ DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
Ensure that all connections are secure at the following locations:
^ The Off-Board Programming Adapter
^ The Tech 2(TM)
^ The control module
^ The Techline terminal
