A. Program the TIPM Using StarSCAN

1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

2. Connect the CH9410 StarSCAN ethernet cable to the StarSCAN and the dealer's network drop.

3. Connect the CH9404 StarSCAN vehicle cable to the StarSCAN and the vehicle.

4. Place the Ignition in the "RUN" position, then Power "ON" the StarSCAN.

5. Retrieve the old TIPM part number. With the StarSCAN on the "Home" screen, follow the procedure below:

a. Select "ECU View".

b. Touch the screen to highlight "TIPMCGW" in the list of modules.

c. Select "More Options".

d. Select "ECU Flash".

e. Record the old TIPM "Part Number" displayed at the end of the "Resident flash file for" statement near the top of "Flash PCM" screen for later reference.

6. Download the flash file from the internet to the StarSCAN. With the StarSCAN on the "Flash PCM" screen, follow the procedure below:

a. Select "Browse for New File". Follow the on screen instructions.

b. If the newly downloaded flash file "Part Number" description is the same as the number recorded in Step 5e, then the TIPMCGW is up to date. Continue to Step 9.

c. Highlight the listed calibration on the StarSCAN screen.

d. Select "Download to Scantool".

e. Select "Close" after the download is complete, then select "Back".

f. Highlight the listed calibration.

g. Select "Update Controller" and follow the on screen instructions.

h. When the update is completed, select "OK".

7. Compare the part number listed in the calibration table with the "Resident flash file" part number. The TIPMCGW has been successfully updated if the two part numbers are the same.

8. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) as follows:

NOTE:
Due to the TIPM programming procedure, DTC(s) may be set in other modules (PCM, TCM, FDCM, ABS, BCM, MIC, WCM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so equipped. Some DTC's may cause the MIL to illuminate.

a. From the "Home" screen select "System View".

b. Select "All DTCs".

c. Press "Clear All Stored DTCs"if there are any DTCs shown on the list.

9. Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position and remove the StarSCAN unit, StarSCAN cable, and battery charger from the vehicle.
