Programming an Existing or New Control Module

2025 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV, 4WDSECTION Programming an Existing or New Control Module

To program an existing or new 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 K85P Restraints Occupant Classification System 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.
    • Before ROCSM Programing and Setup can be conducted, the front passenger seat must be completely empty of all items. The presence of any liquid or items on the front passenger seat will affect the calibration and operation of the ROCSM.
    • DTC U3000.99 will set if the re-zero system test is performed with:
      • An aftermarket seat heater located too close to the sensor mat
      • A scan tool, laptop or other electronic device is in the seat.
      • The seat is damp or wet
      • An object or person is in the seat
  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. Verify that the temperature is between 32°F (0°C) to 100°F (38°C).
  3. Verify the seat is completely dry.
  4. Empty the front outboard passenger seat.
  5. Verify that all SIR and ROCSM components, connectors, and connector position assurances are properly connected and mounted.
  6. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions for the K85P Restraints Occupant Classification System Module.
  7. Perform the SPS function: Programming  and follow the on-screen instructions.
  8. Perform the SPS function: Setup  and follow the on-screen instructions.
  9. Clear DTCs.
