Just getting ready to start..just got back home.

Going to go over all the steps first. According to GM TDS tech, I needed a 24 hr subscription to tis to use the Tech 2 as a pass through....apparently the TDS doesn't recognize the handheld Tech 2 right now?? Weird.

@Joseph Garcia

I think Joe said to click past that to the next page and then you can pick it. Haven't done it this way yet myself.

I'm at this screen, when I select "Service Programming System" in the Tech 2, I can only go up to 2007.

I can select the Tech 2, but get this message on both re-program, and replace and re-program.

Thanks @swathdiver good info.

No progress yet, going to get on a call again this AM and see what we can do.

This has definitely been a frustrating endeavor.

My generic USB to serial is one issue, going to get a Tripp Lite cable and then we are dealing with a possible Win 11 issue but need the different cable first.

It seems that the only current fully successful approach is to get on the phone with their support Techs and have them issue a 24 hour license back to the original TDS program and help walk you through the process to complete the programming/reprogramming.

Yes, that's what I had done this AM. They were very helpful and I did a screen share with the agent and she discovered my USB to serial adapter was not compatible.

Once this process has (hopefully) been resolved, I will surely source a MDI or something for future programming.

Update...

I picked up the Tripp Lite USB to serial adapter, and the tis recognized the Yukon.

I successfully re-installed the current software to the FPCM, but unfortunately the Yukon still does not recognize the trailer.

Not sure what else to check.

As I'm progressing through this dillema, trying to diagnose the integrated system, I keep getting this...

At the same time I have this...

If there's a fault, would there be a code set?
