GM recently have replaced the SPS for the SPS2. The website is the same. You just have to buy your subscriptions basically on if you have the subscription already.
Today we have a 2012 Chevy Silverado with a 5.3 engine. We’re going to do a transmission control module programming with the new gm system- SP2.
Let’s get started.
Go to ACDelco.com
once you put your subscription you go to review- Admin
the system is a little bit slower than the other one
so if you have not downloaded the Techline Connect yet
you will have to download it from here
Now the gm changes system basically they came out with the software called Techline Connect
It has the gm software gds2 and it has a sps programming in it together so basically if you paid a subscription off about $3900 and change almost $3900 or almost $4000 you can have the whole year of gds (global diagnostic system) and also the sps system
but sp system you still have to pay 40 dollars for each vehicle that you’re trying to program.
but it’s all in one system now and you will see it so mine is already downloaded it’s not a hard situation i mean it’s not a hard case if you guys know how to download programs
that’s very simple you just have to make sure your firewall and windows diff windows defender and any type of antivirus is all deactivated.
i’m just going to go Launch Techline Connect
By the way this car they changed the transmission they put a rebuild transmission in it
but the computer inside the transmission control module is brand new from the dealer
first i just hit SPS2 and then press Connect Vehicle
and then from here we’re going to select for passthru device
Here we select (Autel IM608) MaxiFlash JVCI j2534 (you can use other J2534 adapters, Maxiflash VCI, VCMII, MDI, MDI2, VXDIAG VCX NANO for GM, VCM3 etc)
Press continue
all right so it’s gonna try to communicate with the vehicle
so we’re gonna do “Replace and reprogram”
that’s what the new interface looks like. this actually looks pretty decent
when you go to dashboard you can switch over to the gds
but we’re just going to be using sps2
right now so i’m going to hit the Replace and reprogram
i’m going to hit next
the prompts are the same it just a little bit look a little bit different looks a lot more modernized like the old one
we’re gonna find the transition control module right here
press next
is checking how many vin slots i have in the acdelco tds.com
this is my last one so
yes it will take one of my slots right now
it’s basically locking my subscription to this vin number at the moment
just reading the information went up
the cluster started making some noises, some beeps warnings chimes
okay here we go
as you see current calibration unrecognized calibration because this module is empty right now
we’re gonna go ahead and hit next
before we should put our own battery maintainer to the vehicle
Press next
address counter among addresses the customers complained of two to three
called upshift players i guess is the new software there was a software update
on this thing from the original software itself transmission diagnostic and system
so go ahead next
you can read pre-programming guide carefully
it’s saying basically something doesn’t work after the after the programming just don’t replace it just
you can just cycle the battery you turn off and then on but you should be back to normal again
look next
confirm ECU is replaced
it’s going to download the software
the calibration file has been already downloaded and right now it’s going to start writing the
new calibration file into the transmission control module
started programming the transition control module until completed.
i just see the traction light just went out
the transmission being programmed successfully there’s no problem with it
Press later it’ basically telling me that my vin slots have been changed because i had only one left
before now i have zero i have to buy more
turn off the ignition for 30 seconds
Hit clear DTC’s
clear all DTCs
and then after 30 seconds we can react to vehicles start the vehicle see if actually the transmission is shifting and then go for a test drive
let’s see if the lights are on
so it looks like it did the job correctly
there’s no issues
Hope this will help somebody out.
