Service Information

Until now, you have been able to choose between two methods when programming a vehicle: Remote and Pass-Thru. Briefly, in the Remote method, you connect the Tech 2 (and CANdi module if necessary) to the vehicle to obtain Seed and Key. Then, you disconnect the Tech 2 from the vehicle and connect it to the IDS PC to download the calibration into the Tech 2. Finally, you connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle a second time, to download the calibration into the vehicle. In the Pass- Thru method, the Tech 2 remains connected to the vehicle and to the IDS PC for the entire process. The IDS PC passes the calibration through the Tech 2 into the vehicle.

Beginning with the 2008 model year vehicles, Pass-Thru will be the only programming method available. (Remote will continue to be available for previous vehicles.)
