Cause The cause of the condition may be a software anomaly in the Engine Control Module (ECM). Correction Reprogram the ECM. Service Procedure Caution: Before downloading the update files, be sure the computer is connected to the internet through a network cable (hardwired). DO NOT DOWNLOAD or install the files wirelessly. If there is an interruption during programming, programming failure or control module damage may occur. • 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 control module damage may occur. • Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install a GM Authorized Programming Support Tool to maintain system voltage. Refer to www.gmdesolutions.com for further information. If not available, connect a fully charged 12V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOTconnect a battery charger. • Follow the on-screen prompts regarding ignition power mode, but ensure that anything that drains excessive power (exterior lights, HVAC blower motor, etc) is off. • Please verify that the radio time and date are set correctly before inserting USB drive into vehicle for programming, otherwise an error will result. • Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/ Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO. Caution: Be sure the VIN selected in the drop down menu (1) is the same as the vehicle connected (2) before beginning programming. Bulletin No.: 20-NA-218 May, 2021 Page 3 5743643 5644477 Page 4 May, 2021 Bulletin No.: 20-NA-218 5431207 Important: Techline Connect and TIS2WEB screens shown above. Important: If the same calibration/software warning is noted on the TLC or SPS Summary screen, select OK and follow screen instructions. After a successful programming event, the WCC is located in the Service Programming System dialogue box of the SPS Summary screen. No further action is required. Refer to the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. Important: When programming a module in GM’s new Vehicle Intelligence Platform, or VIP, the power mode (ignition) needs to be off or errors may occur. This involves the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac CT5 and CT4, as well as the upcoming full-size Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac SUVs and Buick Envision. Serial Data Message Authentication also needs to have the ignition off. 1. Reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to K20 Engine Control Module: Programming and Setup in SI. Bulletin No.: 20-NA-218 May, 2021 Page 5 5644478 5431209 Page 6 May, 2021 Bulletin No.: 20-NA-218 Note: The screenshots above are an example of module programming and may not be indicative of the specific module that is being programmed. Module selection and VIN information have been blacked out. Important: To avoid warranty transaction rejections, you MUST record the warranty claim code provided on the SPS Warranty Claim Code (WCC) screen shown above on the job card. Refer to callout 1 above for the location of the WCC on the SPS screen. 2. Record the SPS Warranty Claim Code on the job card for warranty transaction submission. Warranty Information Important: Warranty coverage code E2 applies for this module programming event. ECM reprogramming is covered for 8 years/80,000 miles (U.S.) or 8 years/ 130,000 km (Canada). For vehicles repaired under the Emission coverage, use the following labor operation. Reference the Applicable Warranties section of Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) for coverage information. Labor Operation Description Labor Time 2887038* Engine Control Module Reprogramming for Crank No Start or Extended Crank Condition 0.3 hr Labor Operation Description Labor Time *This is a unique Labor Operation for bulletin use only. Important: To avoid warranty transaction rejections, carefully read and follow the instructions below: • The Warranty Claim Code must be accurately entered in the “SPS Warranty Claim Code” field of the transaction. • When more than one Warranty Claim Code is generated for a programming event, it is required to document all Warranty Claim Codes in the “Correction” field on the job card. Dealers must also enter one of the codes in the “SPS Warranty Claim Code” field of the transaction, otherwise the transaction will reject. It is best practice to enter the FINAL code provided by SPS/SPS2. Warranty Claim Code Information Retrieval If the SPS Warranty Claim Code was not recorded on the Job Card, the code can be retrieved in the SPS system as follows: 1. Open TLC/TIS on the computer used to program the vehicle. 2. Select and start SPS/SPS2. 3. Select Settings. 4. Select the Warranty Claim Code tab. The VIN, Warranty Claim Code and Date/Time will be listed on a roster of recent programming events. If the code is retrievable, dealers should resubmit the transaction making sure to include the code in the SPS Warranty Claim Code field.

Reprogramming
GM Diagnostic/Programming (TIS2Web)
Approved J2534 Device with TIS2WEB can reprogram 1996 and later All GM Modules.
To obtain the latest electronic controller calibration information for your vehicle, go to https://tis2web.service.gm.com/tis2web and enter the vehicle's 17 character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select 'Get CAL ID’.
You can then compare the latest part number with the actual number installed on the vehicle to determine if a reprogram is needed.
The Service Programming System (SPS) application is part of the TIS2Web system. To program an ECU, the SPS application must communicate with the vehicle control modules using the proper J2534 programming interface tool.
The following are the supported interface tools:
The Tech 2 supports model years 1996 and beyond. With the addition of the CAN Diagnostic Interface (CANdi) module, Tech 2 is fully backward compatible with current Tech 2 functionality and operates transparently when diagnosing non-CAN-equipped vehicles.
Servicing the next generation Global A vehicles will require the diagnostic software, GDS2, Global Diagnostic System 2 running on a local PC device while the MDI is connected to the vehicle. The GM MDI is the Global Diagnostic tool for future vehicles starting with Global A vehicles.
The GM MDI was introduced in the fall of 2007 for Pass-Thru programming and offers faster programming speed. It can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1996 and into the future. Click here to view a list of GDS supported vehicles.
