• Q: How to perform remote programming of the Engine Control Module on 2001 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: Our first step for Engine Control Module remote programming begins with both ignition OFF and the Tech 2 interface with the data link connector (DLC). Start by switching ON the ignition key while maintaining an idling engine followed by disabling every vehicle accessory. Under the Service Programming menu on the Tech 2 execute the vehicle identification sequence to proceed. The system asks for module type selection followed by programming type selection while enabling verification of the displayed VIN against the actual VIN; write down the actual VIN and update it at the Techline terminal if necessary. Proceed by exiting Service Programming while you should turn OFF the Tech 2 before disconnecting from the vehicle. First connect the Tech 2 to the Techline terminal after which select Service Programming then select Tech 2 as your working tool. Check and edit the displayed VIN if needed before choosing the module type and programming type selection. Normal is used for calibration updates but VCI when the VIN is unavailable or Reconfigure for tire size changes. Choose the suitable calibration file before making sure all connections remain secured and initiating the Reprog process to download the new calibration to the Tech 2. Turn the Tech 2 OFF before disconnecting it from the Techline terminal and then connect it to the DLC. Start the Tech 2 while keeping the engine off along with the ignition turned on before launching Service Programming. Do not switch off the ignition in case the programming process stops or fails unless all connections to the PCM and DLC are secure along with an updated Techline software version before conducting a control module reprogram. Reprogramming the control module without success requires the control module to get replaced. After downloading Service Programming follows the button for Program then exit the procedure. The conclusion of the process requires a 30-second period without ignition power while turning OFF the Tech 2. Perform the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure while also resetting the GM Oil Life System, implementing the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Set Procedure followed by programming the Theft Deterrent System Components when replacing any control module.
