Radio Programming and Setup (UFF, UFU, UHK, UHQ)

Note:
DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a service bulletin.
If the ECU is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the ECU will not
control all of the vehicle features properly.
Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and is securely connected to
the data link connector. If there is an interruption during programming, programming failure or
ECU damage may occur.
Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or
loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install the EL-49642 SPS programming support tool
to maintain system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack
disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such as; interior lights,
exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.
During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct ignition switch
position.
Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.
Diagnostic Aids
If programming of the control module is being performed at the direction of a bulletin or PI,
follow the instructions provided in that document.
During audio system programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations
dependent upon vehicle equipment. Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during
the following procedure to ensure the correct calibrations are selected.
Dependant upon vehicle equipment, the current software level of the module, or the release of
updates, USB programming may not be required when replacing/reprogramming the control
module. If USB files for the application are not available via SPS, or have not been received
from General Motors in another manner of distribution, the USB update process will not need
to be performed.
To prevent potential programming concerns, it is suggested to load the USB files to a USB
flash drive each time a vehicle is programmed. Always start with a FAT32 formatted USB flash
drive and download the specific USB files for the VIN you are working on.
The length of time for the USB programming to complete will vary depending on the number
and size of the files in the update.
All data will be erased from the USB device BEFORE the calibration is downloaded onto the
device. To ensure important information is NOT erased, always verify that NO information is
stored on the device BEFORE beginning the calibration download. If required, transfer
important files to another storage device BEFORE beginning the calibration download.
The XM satellite radio (if equipped) is integrated into the radio. If XM was activated in the
previous radio, the replacement radio will require additional activation steps after
programming to transfer customer subscription information.
