Incorrect Control Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Canyon and 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

NOTE:

DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.

Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
