1) the used Tech2 diagnostic tool

Step 2: Data Request
 
Connect Tech 2 scanner to vehicle. Power on device – “Tech 2″ is displayed on the screen, then press “ENTER”.

Select “F1: Service Programming System (SPS)” in the main menu.
 
Press “F0: Request Info” on Tech 2.
 
If Tech 2 has already stored vehicle data they will be displayed now. In that case, GM Tech 2 asks you to either use the current data (hold data) or request further information from the ECU (continue).
 
For the selection of “Next” the vehicle has to be identified as requested by Tech 2.
 
Note: Depending on the model year and the selected model either a reprogramming of the ECU (F0: Engine) or of the TCM (F1: Transmission) can be selected.
 
During the Request Info the Tech 2 receives information from the selected device. If the ECU was replaced a “Request Info” has to be performed for the NEW unit. Since the new ECU is not programmed on delivery, the retrieved information is not complete. For that reason, TIS 2000 gives instructions as how to enter the missing vehicle data.
 
Follow the instructions on the Tech 2 scan tool . Then press “Exit” on the Tech 2, switch it off and disconnect it from the vehicle.

The window ‘Transfer Data’ is displayed. A bar shows the progress of the download.
 
At the end of the download, a window is displayed with the request to connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle in order to finish the programming process.

A: If the TIS2000 you are trying to install is contained in the GM TECH2 software, then it is useless to install TIS2000 software. 
To program electronic control unit, I advice you buy an extra TIS2000 to work with GM tech2.
 
Q: After receiving GM TECH2 Scanner , I got some errors.
A: If it is Blue screen, just replace the Blue Screen Chip. If it is not the problem of Blue screen, please send us the self-test report to
check where the problem is; have no idea on how to operate self test? Refer the self-test manual at GM TECH2 “technical support /service”.

A: Please follow the correct operation steps: before diagnosing, turn on the ignition and then connect the GM TECH 2 with the car, when the car starts you’d better test the voltage, because during this process a part of cars’ voltage will reach up to 24V or more, especially the car which has a poor contact of electrical ground.

How to do ECU programming with GM Tech 2 scan tool ?
Here is the step-by-step instruction on programming GM (General Motors) ECUs with Tech2 scanner and SPS (Service Programming System) application in TIS2000.
 
NOTE:
Before using the SPS, make sure that the Tech 2 scan tool and the pc contain the latest software, the battery of the vehicle is fully charged, only the ignition is on power, and all cables are connected properly.
