INT-SL+ will not finish programming. The led does not turn off during programming (2002 GMC Sonoma)

Question

I am trying to program INT-SL+ on 2002 GMC Sonoma however, when I get to Step 8, I start the vehicle as instructed but the LED never turn off. Just keeps flashing. I have tried several things - using the most recent firmware, old firmware. I tried Data-link, hard wired, I have double checked that the wiring is correct. Any advise on what I can do?

Answer 1

The firmware you are on now (3.06) or firmware 0.53 will work for this truck, as long as the vehicle has no immo/starting issues to begin with.

 

Verify voltage is present at the 14 pin connector on the pink wire with the key on and that it goes to 0 with key off.

 

J-1850 voltage should vary depending on how busy the network is, again should be checked at the int-sl to make sure its reaching the module.

 

Lastly power and ground.

 

I know some of these old trucks get radios swapped out in them and they do not terminate the network properly, which can impede module programming.
