Module Configuration - System Operation and Component

Description
System Operation
Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the
original module and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module being replaced, the scan tool may
prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during
PMI when a strategy/calibration update is available.
It is important the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing any modules. The new module must be able to
communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI.
Module Reprogramming
Module reprogramming (also referred to as flashing) is a scan tool process which updates the strategy/calibration in a module. Reprogramming a
module with the same level of software does not improve module operation or repair a hardware failure. Module reprogramming is automatically

m
carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available.
Limit module reprogramming to circumstances where a published TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA recommends doing so.
co
A module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network while being reprogrammed. After the reprogramming process,
clear any network communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) which may have been set in other modules.
n.
Some modules are reprogrammed in coordination with other modules.
Programmable Parameters
ag

Programmable parameters are customer preference items that may be modified by the dealer via the scan tool, or in some cases, modified by the
customer following a procedure listed in the Owner's Literature. While many configuration options may exist for a module, only a few of these
options are programmable parameters. Some parameters must be changed in multiple modules at the same time.

Adaptive Learning and Calibration

Some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out if replaced as part of a repair procedure. For adaptive learning and calibration
instructions, refer to the specific module removal and installation procedures.
ca

Vehicle Identification Block

Vehicle identification block commonly stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN, tire size, axle ratio, and whether or not the vehicle is
equipped with cruise control. The vehicle identification block is programmed as part of the PMI, As-Built or Programmable Parameter routines.
The vehicle identification block does not have its own programming procedure.
As-Built Data
As-Built data is a VIN-specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the configuration from all modules is downloaded and stored in
the As-Built database. As-Built data does not reflect customer preference items that have been changed from the default state. These items need to
be changed using programmable parameters after the module is configured.
It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This data may be accessed from the PTS web site.

General Procedures Procedure revision date: 11/14/2019

Module Programming
Check
NOTE: Perform the following pre-checks to make sure module programming completes without errors.
1. Start the programming session in KOEO.
2. Make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged or is connected to a battery charger. The battery state of charge should be 12.6 - 13.6 volts
during vehicle programming.
3. NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary.
Inspect the VCM II or VCMM and cables for damage. Make sure cables remain connected throughout the programming procedure.
4. Turn off all unnecessary accessories, such as radio, A/C, climate controlled seats, headlamps, interior and demand lamps.
5. Disconnect any aftermarket accessories, such as remote start, security alarm and power inverter.
6. For Plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, disconnect the external charge cord from the charge port.

m
7. Disable Microsoft Windows sleep mode, screensaver and hibernation modes.
Programming
co
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet
connection and the VCM II or VCMM is properly connected to the DLC.
n.
1. Log into FDRS.
2. NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification
ag

data appears on the screen when this is complete.

Click 'Read VIN from Vehicle' or manually enter the VIN.
i

3. NOTE: Available modules are shown on the LH side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the RH side of the
rd

screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.

Select Toolbox tab.
ca

4. NOTE: If a module is integrated within another module, both modules will automatically program during this process. For
example, if the ACM is selected, the DACMC (if integrated with the ACM) is also programmed.
From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the module that requires a programming procedure to be completed.
5. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select PMI or Module Configuration.
6. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
Recovery
NOTE: Perform the following steps when programming has resulted in a blank module.
1. Disconnect the VCM II or VCMM from the DLC and PC.
2. Launch FDRS and log in.
3. In the Device Manager window that populates, select CANCEL.
4. Select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu or use Manual VIN Entry and select GO.
5. In the Vehicle Communication Device Not Detected window that populates, select CONTINUE. If a Device Explorer window populates,
select CANCEL.
6. After the session has started, reconnect the VCM II/ VCMM to the DLC and the PC. The VCM II/ VCMM icon should turn green in the
bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM II or VCMM connection.
7. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run PMI. Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original
module is installed, select NO and continue through the installation application.
8. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all
applicable steps are followed in order.
