Vehicle and Module Programming

As vehicles become more technologically advanced, the number of components that need specialist programming is increasing. This is very difficult, often impossible, to carry out without the correct manufacturer's equipment.

Technology

Parts USA utilise the latest GM hardware to program modules and electronic components on your Cadillac, Corvette, Camaro, HUMMER, or other North American GM vehicle.

See below for information on individual programming services available from Parts USA.

GM MDI

The MDI (Multiple Diagnostic Interface) is the latest module programming and diagnostic tool released by GM. It covers vehicles produced from 2012 to present day.

J-46079 TPMS tool

The J-46079 tool is used to program or resynchronize tyre pressure sensors on late model GM vehicles.

Tech 2

Tech2 is the diagnostic and programming tool for GM vehicles from mid 1990s until 2012, when MDI became standard equipment.
