Service Procedure:
Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GM Customer Care and Aftersales.

If you cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.

For step-by-step programming instructions, please refer to SI and the Techline Information System (TIS) terminal.
Verify that there is a battery charge of 12 to 15 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Only use an approved Midtronics® PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during programming. <LI type=1>Reprogram the body control module (BCM). Refer to SI and Service Programming System (SPS) documentation for programming instructions, if required.

2.2. Select J2534 MDI and Reprogram ECU from the Select Diagnostic Tool and Programming Process screen.

2.3. Select BCM Body Control Module -- Programming from the Supported Controllers screen.

2.4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Clear all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Check the driver information center display for additional messages regarding further calibration instructions. If there are no additional driver information center instructions present, programming is complete.

[SSGUNNER]

My car has a builda in May 2011. Cant remember date and car is at home. Think mine was affected?

[zandron263]

I got the letter back in the summer. Had the reprogram done a few weeks ago although mine always worked the few times I put it on

[skip1718]

what about if you have a tune installed. when they reflash the ecm will it delete the programmed tune???

[rberns]

that was around mid summer of 2011. Not all camaros were affected. Depending on what your VIN number is, you camaro would have been recalled.

[gsport]

guess i'll be taking it in before summer.....

[dcarlos55]

I got an actual recall letter from GM for mine. They flash the Body control module for the ac fix. As far as I know they don't do anything with the tune. Mine was built in January 11.

I had them do it last time I took it in for an oil change.

[BowtieBelle]

I didn't get the letter but my VIN was one of the ones affected; it wasn't just SS models. They reprogrammed the BCM at the dealer and sent me on my way.

[Chevrolet Customer Svc]

SNEEKS if you're worried about being affected by this just send me your VIN and I'll check it for you.

I bought the car in July... so would the delar have done the reflash before I drove it off the lot?
