SECTION VIIC SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM
2005 Tech 2 User’s Guide VII - 55
Performing Off-Board Programming Adapter (OBPA) Remote SPS
The OBPA is used in situations where a module must be programmed without having the vehicle present.
This need may arise, for example, when a dealership parts department sells a control module to a retail or
aftermarket customer. To perform SPS in this scenario requires an off-board programming adapter. The
adapter allows the module to be powered up and communicate with the scan tool. The part number for the
OBPA kit is J-41207-C. It is available for purchase by calling 1-800-GM-TOOLS (1-800-468-6657), or send
your order by fax at 1-800-578-7375.
Off-Board Remote Programming Procedure
1. Obtain VIN of the vehicle for which the module is being programmed.
IMPORTANT: TIS supports Service Programming with the Tech 2 scan tool only.
NOTICE
Prior to performing SPS, it is important to heed the following precaution. Ensure that the Tech 2 and
the terminal are both equipped with the latest software.
2. Launch TIS. Select the Service Programming System icon on the TIS main screen (Figure VIIB-2).
3. At the Select Diagnostic Tool and Programming Process screen (Figure VIIC-2), make the appropriate
selection for your procedure:
• Under “Select Diagnostic Tool,” select Tech 2.
• Under “Select Programming Process,” identify whether an existing module is being reprogrammed or
a module is being replaced with a new one.
