Human Machine Interface Control Module Programming and Setup




Human Machine Interface Control Module Programming and Setup

Special Tools

* EL-49642 - SPS Programming Support Tool

* EL-50687 - 4GB USB Key

Note:

* DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a service bulletin. If the ECU is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the ECU will not control all of the vehicle features properly.

* Ensure 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 ECU damage may occur.

* Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install the EL-49642 - SPS Programming Support Tool to maintain system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.

* Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.

* During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct ignition switch position.

* Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.

Diagnostic Aids

During audio system programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations dependent upon vehicle equipment. Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during the following procedure to ensure the correct calibrations are selected.

Replace and Program ECU or Reprogram ECU

To program a replacement or an existing ECU, perform the following procedure:

1. Install the EL-49642 - SPS Programming Support Tool.

2. Insert the EL-50687 - 4GB USB key into your computer.

3. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Human Machine Interface Module - 1. Copy Files to Memory Device.

5. Copy the Audio System Software files to the memory device. All existing files on the memory device will be erased when the new files are copied.

Note: The vehicle must remain in PARK during the programming procedure.

6. Ignition ON, infotainment system ON.

7. Remove the EL-50687 - 4GB USB key from your computer and connect it to the USB port in the vehicle.

8. The infotainment system will recognize that update files are available. Follow the infotainment display on-screen instructions and select Update when prompted. Programming will take several minutes.

9. Upon completion of programming, remove the USB memory device. Follow the infotainment display on-screen instructions.

10. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Human Machine Interface Module - 2. Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.

11. At the end of programming, choose the "Clear All DTCs" function on the SPS screen.

Unsuccessful Programming Recovery

In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the following steps:

1. DO NOT turn the ignition OFF. Ensure that all ECU, DLC and programming tool connections are secure and the TIS terminal operating software is up to date.

2. Attempt to reprogram the ECU.

3. If the ECU can still not be programmed, turn the ignition OFF for at least one minute.

4. Turn the ignition ON and attempt to reprogram the ECU. The ECU should program.

If the ECU still cannot be programmed, replace the ECU.
