- Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. When required, install the EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool to maintain system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack
disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.
- Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.
- During the programming procedure, follow the Service Programming System (SPS) prompts for the correct ignition switch position.
- Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.
- Note the engine oil life remaining percentage.
- Install EL-49642 SPS programming support tool.
- Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Select K20 Engine Control Module – Programming and follow on-screen instructions.
- On the Summary screen, inspect for Current and Selected calibration part numbers in the ID 5 Current column as shown.

This product presentation was made with AAWP plugin.
The Stochastic pre-ignition recall was performed on my 2016 Malibu about a year ago. Since it was performed, my fuel economy seems to have been negatively affected. At my last service visit (oil change) I asked if the recall affected fuel economy. He said it was an oil change only and would not affect fuel economy.
But GM’s website states that the dealer must “Reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM)”. Was the ECM reprogramed and does it affect fuel economy?
Most likely the ECM was reprogrammed…
also, dealer is claiming synthetic blend is what is needed, this article states full synthetic, what is correct?
As far as I know, as long as it is DEXOS1 approved, it should be fine.
Did GM promise to pay for increased cost of premium oil changes?
