2020 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 6.6L (7 L8T) 6-spd (6L90)

Hello DN looking to see if anybody knows how to activate the OEM brake controller on this 2020 Sierra . Truck didn't come with it so customer bought it at dealer and installed. I looked everywhere in GDS and SPS and couldn't find any module with the option to activate or program the new controller. Also checked SI but didn't find the procedure. Has anyone done this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The box must have a code if it was bought at dealer you call sps and they make a file with the code and flash the car with a j box and lap top

Back in the day of SPS1 you could plug in a VIN that had the option and the software would be there. With SPS2 not sure if it can be done. I don't think you would be granted a VCI for an upgrade but I could be wrong.

I think you have 2 options: Call ACDelco support for access to a special calibration. or install an aftermarket controller.
