Programming an Existing Control Module

2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS, FWDSECTION Programming an Existing Control Module

To program an existing K9 Body Control Module, perform the following procedure:

    NOTE:
    • Ensure the EL-52100  (MDI 2) is used when programming the vehicle and verify it is working properly. Using the EL-47955 (MDI) will result in a programming failure.
    • Verify all control modules are connected and communicating before attempting to program the control module.
    • Verify the key fob is inside the vehicle. If the key fob is not inside the vehicle, the serial data authentication configuration procedure which runs automatically at the end of the programming step will fail even though the programming appears to run successfully. If the serial data authentication configuration procedure fails, DTC U1962 will set and/or the setup step will fail or be incomplete.
    • Begin with the vehicle in vehicle OFF power mode. The Service Programming System will power mode the vehicle.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, ensure that the key fob is inside the vehicle and not moved for the duration of the programming to prevent an inadvertent power mode change during programming.
  2. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K9 Body Control Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. 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.
  5. Clear DTCs.
