Using GM Tech2 to disable seatbelt alarm, program DDM, add modules

Recently, we have quite a few future-buyers asking about GM Tech2 Scanner. Here obd2eshop would like to share a simple guide for SAAB with pictures for GM Tech2 beginners. To use the scanner on SAAB, you will need a 32MB PCMCIA card. Some functions are hidden and work in conjunction with other functions (like rolling locks, keyout unlock).

How to connect Tech2 scanner to SAAB OBD port
1.DLC cable connection
2.SAE 16/19 pin adapter (P/N 300098)
How to turn off seat belt alarm:
This function is in “Most Common Adjustments”
Select your Saab year and model then select all.
Make sure your key is set to On.

Select F5. Most Common Adjustments
This brings you to:

Select Seat Belt Reminder = Off
How to Program DDM, Enable Comfort Open/Close, Learn Pinch
Prerequisites:
Security via TIS2000! Without this you would not be able to add anything!!!

Go to main menu, select F0: Diagnostics and then select your model and year.

Select F7: Add/ Remove

How to add modules

Thanks for reminding me Tech2! I will do this down below!

Looks like Tech2 caught an error! Passenger door’s anti-pinch was disabled somehow… It fixes it automatically.

So that was pretty straight-forward right? Now hit Exit and go back. We have to setup pinch protection under the service tab…

Holy Cow! My fingers almost were chopped off!!!

That’s pretty much the same for adding all modules. I have to say, autosuggest is your best friend. If you mess up adding wrong part, the ECU will catch the mismatch. Bonus.

Is possible to change idle speed with GM Tech II

Possible to raise and lower idle speed using a Tech II Scanner?
Look here – questions and answers from users and technicians
2003 escalade, found a TSB regarding rough idle, I need to raise and lower the idle by +/- 50 rpm. How do I do this with a Tech 2?
For the 2003, if the tsb refers you to a new calibration you might able to reprogram with tis2000 (depends on the tsb date).
Note that things can’t be done with the scan tool alone.
2011 escalade would like to know how to do a VIN reprogram/ relearn for the radio.
For the 2011 you’ll need tis2web.
Note that things can’t be done with the scan tool alone.
Is it possible to adjust the idle rpm with the GM Scanner Tech II?
You cannot change your idle rpm with the Tech 2. On some vehicles you can raise and lower the rpm by controlling the iac motor, but only for diagnostic purposes.
What do I need to be able to change my idle speed for cold conditions . ECM program adjustment? should be able to control it with cruise control switch correct?2002 GMC duramax 2500HD . (1GTHC23182F202689 – 2002 GMC VIN.)
your vehicle can the ecm reprogrammed for the fast idle increase. your local dealer should be able to help you out.
Which one Tis2000 will support escalade 2009 to reprogram with Tech2?
For 2009 you will need an online subscription.
I’m trying to change the idle speed on a 98 camro m6, ls1, with a big cam for a friend of mine.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the proper procedure to adjust it with a GM tech 2? He wants it specifically set with the ecm.
You cannot do it with a TECHII. Simple as that. What you want to do is considered editing, and you cannot edit with a TECHII. Period.
Only thing you can do with a TECHII is upload GM specific files, tunes, updates, whatever you want to call them.
Raising of the idle can be done using the bi-di controls in the scanner function, but it does not burn it to the memory.
Drilling a hole in the T-body does you no good, because without raising the idle in the tune, the IAC will just close up more, trying to get the idle back down to the desired speed.
I assume the same is true for changing the rear gear ratio?
You can change gear ratios by changing RPOs. Totally different thing. Thats still not editing. It’s changing what the computer thinks the car came with from the factory.
You cannot tell the computer the car has a 4.56. You cannot change the idle.
To correctly change the idle, you need to increase the base idle airflow, as well as the idle speed. You need to purchase a tuner suite. HPtuners or EFIlive.
Is it possible for GM vehicles to get the ecm reprogrammed for the fast idle increase. your local dealer should be able to help you out. How it works?
Connect the Tech 2 and follow the steps below to program the ECM for idle up feature with PTO operation:
Turn on tech 2 and build the vehicle
select “Powertrain” (Or “Vehicle Control Systems” on later models)
select “Special Functions” (or “Module Setup” on later models)
select “PTO Options”
select “Change Options” (soft key at bottom of the screen)
select F1 “PTO Preset Speed Control”
select pto max engine speed set to 2200 – 4400 rpm (not below 2200)
Note: These steps will not allow the engine rpm to exceed the rpm setting, even during normal driving if the PTO switch is on
select stand by speed (base fast idle ) set to 1200 (this setting is initial fast idle)
select PTO set speed – set to 1400 rpm
select PTO resume speed – set 1700 rpm
select PTO max engage speed – set to 1800 rpm (PTO engagement inhibit speed)
select PTO engine shutdown – no
select PTO engage relay – no
select PTO feed back -no
select “Reprogram” (soft key at bottom of screen) “Waiting For Data” displays on screen-once data comes back verify settings remain
key off- until tech 2 “beeps” and screen shows “no communication” (Very important step if missed setting will not store)
key on – verify settings remain on list
operate pto

Feedback from GM Tech2 with CANdi TIS Works for GM/SAAB/OPEL/SUZUKI/ISUZU/Holden

I’ve got one and it works perfect on my 08

A few of us have them….. works great! Can also get to things like the rear air ride (if yours has that) which no other tool can deal with.

That being said I’ve seen on other forums where some people have major issues with their clones. Best I can say is I got my GM Tech2 from obd2tool and it works perfect.

It will come in handy sometimes. Now figuring out how to use all of the functionality will take a bit too. You can pretty much get right into diagnostics and whatnot pretty easy though. Programming takes a bit more as you will need to either install TIS2000 or pay for a short subscription to the ACDelco TIS system. TIS2000 is a pretty old program but does still have updates and whatnot for some things in our H2’s. The tricky bit is it runs on Windows XP. There is tons of info online about ways of getting that software installed and working though. The Tech2 will also come in handy for other GM vehicles as well and can give you a lot more info that most any other scan tool.

I’m pretty sure this one…. That is the same one I got a couple of years ago.

Tech 2 review working for for Cadillac and Hummer H3

My Tech 2 clone finally got here. Took a few weeks to get it but it looks great so far. Now I just have to figure out how to use it properly lol. I was looking into scanners and most can’t read anything but engine codes. Did some research on some other forums and a bunch of people have had really good luck with these clones.

$224 off www.obd2tool.com

Got a chance to try it out today on my wife’s Cadillac and my Hummer h3. She has been having an issue with her abs light coming on then going off. I suspected a wheel sensor but my blue tooth scanner wouldn’t pick it up. Hooked up the tech 2 and scanned the brake module for codes and I got c0050 for the right rear abs sensor.

Also I did a check of all 28 modules in the car and pulled some misfire codes even no CEL was on. The cool thing is that it records the event so you can see exactly what was happening at the time the code occurred. For instance the c0050 shows me steering angle, speed, and a whole bunch of other things. The misfire codes shows me engine speed (rpm), ect, iat, spark, o2, maf, etc.

My h3 has had a CEL on – po452. I wanted to check it with the tech 2. Well it pulls 3 codes, po455 (large evap leak), po442 (small evap leak), and po449 (vent solenoid control).

Overall, I am very impressed with the quality and capabilities. I don’t see any reason why I won’t be able to program modules, etc. I will need to get the Tis2000 software loaded up for that.
