DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a servicebulletin. 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 connectedto the data link connector. If there is an interruption during programming, programmingfailure or ECU damage may occur.Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, overvoltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install the EL-49642 SPS programming support toolto maintain system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12-V jumperor booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a batterycharger.Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such as; interiorlights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct ignitionswitch position.Clear DTCs after programming is complete.
