UPGRADE EVENT NAME
NOTICE
^ A fully charged battery is necessary before ECU upgrade can take place. DO NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during ECU upgrade. Make sure the blower motor is "OFF" during ECU upgrade.
^ All ECU upgrades must be done with the ignition key in the "ON" position.
^ Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or GDS during the ECU upgrade procedure.
^ DO NOT start the engine during ECU upgrade.
^ DO NOT turn the ignition key "OFF" or interrupt the power supply during ECU upgrade.
^ When the ECU upgrade is completed, turn the ignition key "OFF" and wait 20 seconds before starting the engine.
^ ONLY use approved ECU upgrade software designated for the correct model, year and engine size. Failure to do so may create other driveability issues due to the use of the incorrect ECM/PCM calibration.
ROM ID INFORMATION TABLES
To verify the vehicle is affected, be sure to check the Calibration Identification of the vehicle's PCM's ROM ID and reference the Information Table as necessary.
1. Connect the power supply cable to the GDS tool.
NOTICE
If attempting to perform the ECU upgrade with the power supply cable disconnected from the GDS tool, be sure to check that the GDS tool is fully charged before ECU upgrade. If the GDS tool is not fully charged, failure to perform the ECU upgrade may occur. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the power supply connector be connected to the GDS tool.
2. Connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.
NOTICE
When performing the ECU upgrade using the GDS tool, wireless communication between the VCI and GDS tool is not available. Therefore, be sure to connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.
3. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the VCI.
4. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the OBD-II connector, located under the driver's side of the instrument panel.
5. With the ignition key ON, turn ON the VCI and GDS tool. Access the GDS vehicle identification number (VIN) screen and configure the vehicle using the VIN AUTO DETECT Function.
6. Once back at the GDS Main Screen, select ECM upgrade from the bottom right-hand corner. Next select Auto Mode, Engine. Perform the ECM upgrade in accordance with normal GDS tool ECM upgrade procedures.
When performing the ECU upgrade using the GDS tool, wireless communication between the VCI and GDS tool is not available. Therefore, be sure to connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to perform a Manual Mode ECM upgrade unless Auto Mode fails. Always follow the instructions given on the GDS tool in either Auto or Manual mode. See table for Manual Mode passwords. In addition, a ECM reset is required if Auto Mode fails; refer to the table below for procedure.
MANUAL MODE ECU UPGRADE PASSWORDS
7. When the GDS tool reports that the ECM upgrade has been successfully completed, click OK, turn OFF the ignition key, and wait at least 10 seconds before attempting to start the engine.
8. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes using the GDS and erase any DTCs stored due to CAN-Line communication during reprogramming.
