SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM<br />

The Service Programming System (SPS)<br />

The Service Programming System (SPS) updates the flash calibration files that are stored in a vehicle<br />

onboard controller (e.g. PCM, ABS, VTD). The calibration file custom-tailors a module to a certain vehicle.<br />

The calibration file contains data for things such as spark curves and fuel control. When troubleshooting a<br />

driveability condition, diagnosis may call for reprogramming the controller with newer calibration<br />

information to correct a customer concern.<br />

The ECM/PCM controller can generally use four types of serial <strong>com</strong>munications:<br />

• UART (Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit)<br />

• Class 2<br />

• Keyword<br />

• CAN – GM LAN (recent <strong>com</strong>munications application currently available only on a few limited applications)<br />
