Is there a satisfactory GM scan tool<\/a> that will do relearns or flashing? I am more worried about a single system module (fuel, gearbox, body, etc.) instead of ECM.<\/p>\n

And soon I\u2019m doing the brake lines on my Silverado (the \u201cdealer\u201d repair was compression fittings ). I also want to do the ABS autobleed. My vehicles are 2000, 2001 and 2002, so I\u2019m not too worried about being \u201cUp to current MY\u201d inventory, but it isn\u2019t necessary that something upgradeable would be nice. Of course yes, let\u2019s read the experienced users\u2019 reviews.<\/p>\n

No. 1\u00a0GM Tech2 scanner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Diagnosis:\u00a0From 1991 to 2013
\nProgramming:\u00a0Year 2007 year (with Tis2000 Software)<\/p>\n

Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 good scanner, works fine with isuzu trooper 4jx1 engine and aw30-40ls at<\/p>\n

\u2013 I\u2019d get a T2 clone and an MDI2 clone. There are things that I can\u2019t do even with my T2 as as a pass thru with ACDelco TDS.\u00a0The standalone T2 is good for diagnostic work\u00a0without the burden of fumblefarting around with cables and a laptop etc.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Works as it is supposed to and I got the job done right.<\/p>\n

\u2013My scanner has been nothing but awesome for several years.
\nBTW that Bosch\/Vertronix Tech 2 technology has been in decades.. They spit out a boat load of Apple watches overthere before we get out of bed each day\u2026a Tech 2 is like 486 \/ Pentium level technology.
\nIf you need MDI (2010) then go there\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Chinese knockoffs are actually good.
\nWhile the Tech 2 is ancient\u2026..It\u2019s still a good handheld scan tool up to 2013MY.<\/p>\n

\u2013 I\u2019ve changed the fluid and replaced calipers and hoses on GM trucks and never had to do that,\u00a0but assume any clone T2 would be able to.<\/p>\n

Read related article:\u00a0USA Cars (GM, Ford, Chrysler) PCM Flash Reprogramming Instruction.\u00a0(It will use GM Tech2 scan tool)<\/p>\n

NO.2\u00a0GM MDI<\/a> \/ GM MDI 2<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDiagnosis:\u00a0all Vauxhall \/Opel 16 pin vehicles from 1996 to 2017
\nProgramming GM: Yes<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that you\u2019ll need a subscription to GM SI to reflash any module in addition to the correct tool,<\/p>\n

GDS2+MDI has been the GM scan tool since ~2010MY and the GM flashing tool since 2007<\/p>\n

No. 3 AUTEL MS906BT<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAutel MS906BT is a nice tool, Make sure if you buy, it is the \u201cBT\u201d version and not the cheaper MS906. You should be able to get a new one under $1200.
\nI have to say I\u2019m very impressed with it supports to do things like your transfer case module, air bag modules, codes keys etc.
\nIt is no issue to do some total brake line replacements on Chevy\/GMC trucks, just bleed manually by myself.I just upgraded my scan tool to an Autel MS906BT .<\/p>\n

No. 4\u00a0\u00a0Autel MS908<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been using an Autel MS908 that covers GM OEM tools, except for straight through programming. I believe that 908p (pro) has this ability.<\/p>\n

No. 5 Launch X-431 V<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere is also the Launch X-431 pro which works really well. And you can do other makes, access different modules, etc.<\/p>\n

Just depends how much you want to spend.<\/p>\n

The Tech2 clones work really well too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
