GM SPS difficulties

Olivier Service Advisor Quebec Posted   Latest   Edited  

I am kind of new to vehicule programming, but a good background in diagnosis. I have an Autel Maxiflash and trying to make the GM SPS system working.

I bought a subscription for 1 VIN on the Acdelco website. After that, I click on Add Vin, and the website redirects doesn’t redirects me to tis2web but to another website that needs a 3000$ yearly subscription to access. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You need to download TLC application, after downloading the application, do the installation, SPS is now in the TLC application . I am loading a computer right now for one of my techs.

Juts download and install new app. Don’t need to buy the yearly subscription only per vin but now you use that app instead of SPS.

They are sunsetting the old tis2web system for the new tech line connect. I think on or about the 29th of this month. I also just set up a computer to program a GM vehicle. Had to call tech support because acdelcotds wouldn't process my payment for the single vin. I was told to use chrome for payment because of some backend web problems they were working out. Once you get logged into the new…

My Autel J2534 device only connects when I open Techline Connect through IE. Did not work through chrome. (First time running the new sw I ran IE w admin rights). Only use Chrome to purchase subscription or credits.

I went through this the other day as well, when you get to the techline connect redirection, I had to run it as the “standalone” option, presumably because I am not running the full techline connect and only wanted the programming.

Ok thank you. I have been able to connect to the car, but the task that I want to do is to install a used ECM in it and program keys. Is that function available in SPS to change the ECU vin?

Used ecm may not work if this is a global a vehicle .You will need a lsid for keys or a key programmer​.​Last flash i did monday i had to use chrome to flash with.

In the older version of SPS, I could connect with SPS, select replace and program. Then, the system asks me to turn key off, replace the ECM and turn the key on and update the ECM. SPS2 doesn't seem to let me do that. I also saw that some were using GDS2, input manually the vin and when connecting, GDS2 is telling that there is a VIN mismatch and at that point, I could rewrite the car's vin in…

The older GM were not an issue. Newer GM Global A architecture is different. Do Not Swap Control Modules on Global Architecture Models – TechLink (gm-techlink​.​com)

Hi Bonjour Olivier, I think the 2010 Equinox is part of Global A architecture and you cannot swap ECM modules. You might need I/O Terminal tool with the Opel/GM activation if the old pcm is communicating. If not available I would call Flagship One to get a virginize unit or a new one from GM. Hope this helps, Eric

My Bosch M-VCI is still working with Tech Line Connect; no need to purchase the subscription to TLC; all other features are unavailable in it except SPS; any other vins you had access to will still be available

Has anyone got any error codes from tlc. I tried programming an 06 h3 and keep getting a cyber security error message and error code 5 on step 0. Will not accept the flash.

So mine did the same thing. Thought I fried the module too. Turns out the ebcm was corrupting the calibration. Unplugged the ebcm and it took

Sounds like I really need a new ECM. SPS does not permit to rewrite the car’s vin to a salvage yard ECU. There were a rewrite button in the past on that box
