Ahhhhh Forgot about that one, although back in oct I checked and cleaned it when I had the unknown driver issue. I will check it when I get home tonight

 

I will never understand engineers, you put the SDM module under the driver seat then put its grounding point under the passenger seat. What goes through these people's heads.

 

I finally had some time to swap the SDM but I believe it needs to be programmed I'm getting the code B1001. Anyone know an easy way to do this ?

Thanks

 

If you have a Tech2 you will need to get the TIS2000 software running on a Windows 95/98/XP/7 (32 bit) pc working or do a short subscription to the ACDelco tech programming to reprogram things (the computer also needs a serial port to connect the Tech2 to transfer the programming). Its a fiddly process to get the TIS2000 software working right but once it is installed and working it is pretty straightforward.

"DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraints ID stored in both the BCM and SDM do not match. If either the BCM or powertrain control module (PCM) were replaced, the replacement modules need to be reprogrammed for proper operation. In addition, if the BCM or SDM were replaced, the vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system will also need to be reprogrammed.

Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) Replacement
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed in the following order:
•BCM reprogramming
•Theft learn

Programming the BCM

Important: After the procedure is completed, the personalization settings of the BCM are set to a default setting.

Perform the BCM special function "Request BCM Info. for SPS", then connect the scan tool to the SPS terminal.

Programming Theft Deterrent System Components
Perform the Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent after successfully finishing the Setup New BCM procedure. If the Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in the Theft Deterrent procedure is not performed after a BCM replacement, one of the following conditions will occur:
• The vehicle will not be protected against theft by the PASSLOCK system.
• The engine will not crank nor start.
Important: After programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:
•Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
•Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
•Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.
•Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules.
•Clear all history DTCs."

 

My PC is too new, the TIS2000 software will not load, it doesn't like my new IE explorer. and I need to wait for the AC Delco site to fix their shopping cart, apparently, they are having issues.

Thanks for the help

 

go to a thrift store and pick up an old laptop that has a serial port. i use an old dell latitude d620 with windows xp on it.

 

I thought of that too lol, however it was 40.00 for 24-month subscription "Vehicle Programming Software
Includes 24 months access to program all modules for one vehicle (VIN)" and I can use it on my reliable computer
