The reprogramming may be performed with the PCM installed in the vehicle using the Service Bay Technical System (SBTS).
The PCM may also be reprogrammed outside of the vehicle using the New Generation STAR (NGS) and a 15- to 104- Pin Flash Cable (007-00587 or equivalent). The Flash Cable connects between the NGS and the PCM. The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through the SBTS. Follow the download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
