Vehicle Wide Programming and Setup: Notes
2025 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV, 4WDSECTION Notes
IMPORTANT:
- If ANY module is replaced, program the single module first prior to Vehicle Wide Programming.
- Verify 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.
- Before downloading the update files, be sure the computer is connected to the internet through a network cable (hardwired). DO NOT DOWNLOAD or install the files wirelessly. 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 a battery maintainer or power supply that provides a steady and stable voltage. Do not use a battery charger, as charging voltage will often fluctuate when connected to the vehicle. This may interrupt programming. If a battery maintainer is not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
- Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicle's battery such as interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.
