​Is your GM vehicle (like this 2013 Cadillac SRX) suffering from a failed ABS module, heavy steering, or power steering warning messages? What if the part is no longer available from the dealer? Don't worry! In this video, I show you PROOF that you can successfully program a used, junkyard ABS module on a Global A architecture vehicle. ​This fix can save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars and get your car back on the road safely. We'll walk through the entire process from start to finish. ​🔧 TOOLS USED: ​Software: GM Techline Connect (SPS2 Programming) ​Interface: J2532 Pass-Thru Device (I'm using the Autel MaxiFlash JVCI) ​Hardware: A standard Windows laptop ​⚠️ THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP: When you get to the programming options in SPS2, DO NOT just select "Program." You MUST select the "Replace and Reprogram" option for a used module. This is the key to making the whole process work! ​💻 THE PROCESS: After selecting the correct option, the process was surprisingly simple. I followed the on-screen prompts, and the initial programming took only about a minute. ​Afterward, a message appeared stating, "The vehicle is processing the updates." BE PATIENT! This screen remained for about 7-10 minutes before I received the final success message from SPS2, confirming the module was accepted. ​✅ VERIFICATION & RESULTS: After programming, I scanned the car and found all the old ABS codes had changed from "Current" to "History." I cleared all DTCs, restarted the vehicle, and the codes were gone for good! ​The result? The heavy steering was gone, the "Service Power Steering" message disappeared, and the car drove perfectly. This is a game-changer, especially for modules that are discontinued and no longer available new. ​Thanks for watching!
