How to use Tech2 for GM SPS programming
3) Key programming
Read article: How to program key fobs for 06 Chevrolet using GM TECH2 with 32MB card and CANdi module:
Step by step procedure with lots images.
4) Bleeding ABS with Tech 2
I have a tech 2 clone but I have a ’96 and it only has the 3 sensor 4wal. On this there is no countdown or cycling of the ignition, as long as it is on with engine off, after the warnings it establishes communication and then says depress the pedal and it cycles the ABS about 4 times.
BTW this is a good resource for Tech2 paths. It’s all paths though even more than available for your truck but you could probably reduce this down if needed.
https://gsi.ext.gm.com/userguides/GM_Tech2_Paths.pdf
Also, if I can get to that screen just scrolling through function sitting at my desk then that means no communication is occurring to this point. So i would go and use the function to pull the VIN or something just to make sure you do have communication from the unit and through the DLC connector to the truck.
ABS Bleed with GM Tech2 Scan tool
Conclusion:
Vident iLink400 is more suitable for the DIYers , since it is easy to use, cheap and allow users to add one more car diagnostic software as needed.
GM Tech 2 is more suitable for the professional users, which has key programming and SPS programming functions.
