Buick Encore: Front view camera module programming and setup

Front View Camera Module Replacement

If the Front View Camera Module needs to be replaced, the following procedures must be performed:

1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access Service Programming System (SPS).
2. Perform the SPS function Front View Camera Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Perform the SPS function Front View Camera Module - Configuration & Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Clear DTCs after completing the programming procedure.
5. Following programming, the module will require calibration. Refer to Front View Camera Module Calibration .

Front View Camera Module Reprogramming

Do not reprogram the Front View Camera Module, unless directed by a service procedure, or a service bulletin

1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access Service Programming System (SPS).
2. Perform the SPS function Front View Camera Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Clear DTCs after completing the programming procedure.
4. Following programming, the module will require calibration. Refer to Front View Camera Module Calibration .

HEATED SEAT CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING AND SETUP

The seat heating control module must be programmed with the proper calibration software. The module stores and utilizes this information however if it is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the seat heating control module will not control all of the vehicle features properly.

Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for seat heating control module programming:

1. The battery is fully charged.
2. The MDI data link connectors are secure.
3. The scan tool is loaded with the most current software version.
4. All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected securely.
5. This entire procedure has been reviewed before proceeding.

Do not reprogram the seat heating control module unless directed by a service procedure or a service bulletin.

Seat Heating Control Module Programming

To program and setup an existing or new replacement seat heating control module, perform the following procedure:

1. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS).
2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select HVSMF Front Seat Heating Control Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the HVSMF Front Seat Heating Control Module fails to accept the program, verify all scan tool and seat heating control module connections are secure.

NOTE: After programming is completed, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:

1. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
2. Open and close the door.
3. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
4. Ignition ON, engine OFF.
5. Clear all DTCs from all modules.

HVAC SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING AND SETUP

NOTE:

• DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a service bulletin. 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 connected to the data link connector. If there is an interruption during programming, programming failure or ECU damage may occur.
• 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 SPS prompts for the correct ignition switch position.
• Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.

Diagnostic Aids

During HVAC programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations dependant upon vehicle equipment. Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during the following procedure to ensure the correct calibrations are selected.

Replace and Program ECU or Reprogram ECU

To program a replacement or an existing ECU, perform the following procedure:

1. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Remote Heater and Air Conditioning - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. At the end of programming, choose the "Clear All DTCs" function on the SPS screen.

Unsuccessful Programming Recovery

In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the following steps:

1. DO NOT turn the ignition OFF. Ensure that all ECU, DLC and programming tool connections are secure and the TIS terminal operating software is up to date.
2. Attempt to reprogram the ECU.
3. If the ECU can still not be programmed, turn the ignition OFF for at least one minute.
4. Turn the ignition ON and attempt to reprogram the ECU. The ECU should program.

• If the ECU still cannot be programmed, replace the ECU.
