Special Tools

    • Scan Tool with capability of communicating on GMLAN
    • Service Programming System (SPS - TIS2WEB or equivalent)
    • J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
    • Surface Cleaner (50 percent isopropyl alcohol, FS-1082 hi-flash naphtha or equivalent)

Procedure

    Note: Please review this entire procedure before trying to perform it.

  1. Using the Scan Tool, perform the Copy and Paste TPM Information procedure. This will extract the TPM Tire Type information as well as the sensor data from the existing RCDLR prior to its replacement and store this information in the scan tool. After RCDLR replacement, the tire type and sensor data stored in the scan tool is written to the new RCDLR, negating the need to perform the tire type setup and sensor learn procedure. This must be performed BEFORE removing the old RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup .
  2. Physically replace the factory Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) with the 2-way RCDLR included in the kit. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement. Do not program or reassemble yet.
