K194 Rear Gate Module: Programming and Setup

Note:

  • Always verify the module has the newest software available before replacing the module.
  • 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 control module damage may occur.
  • Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. When required, install a battery maintainer or power supply that provides a steady and stable voltage. Do not use a battery charger, as charging voltage will often fluctuate when connected to the vehicle. This may interrupt programing. If a battery maintainer is 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.

Replace and Program Control Module

Note: The endgate must be completely closed and latched, if the endgate is open or ajar during programming, the power endgate system may become inoperative without any DTCs indicated

To program a replacement control module, perform the following procedure:

  1. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K194 Rear Gate Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. At the end of programming, choose the “Clear All DTCs” function on the SPS screen.

Reprogram Control Module

Note: The endgate must be completely closed and latched, if the endgate is open or ajar during programming, the power endgate system may become inoperative without any DTCs indicated

To reprogram an existing control module, perform the following procedure:

  1. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select K194 Rear Gate Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. At the end of programming, choose the “Clear All DTCs” function on the SPS screen.
