Chevy Volt 2012 HPCM2 Reprogramming with VXDIAG & Techline Connect

This is a Chevy Volt year 2021. It pops up here Service High Voltage Charging System error. I clear it with GDS2 before but it is not working anymore as I had that caveat before that sometimes it doesn’t always work.

I got to reprogram the hpcm2 module. I’ve already done the BCM update.

 

These documents help a lot:

Chevy Volt HPCM 2 Reprogramming with VXDIAG VCX NANO SPS

How to Set up VXDIAG VCX NANO GM with Techline Connect?

 

Using Techline Connect and a VXDIAG VCX Nano GM interface to fix Chevy Volt Service High Voltage Charging System Error:

 

I am going to put the car in service mode.  so i’m going to do that is foot not on the brake. i do have my keys in my pocket.  i don’t know if that makes a difference.

I’m just going to hold the power button for that long however long that was. i’ll hold a button turn the radio down here it’s not raining in my shop turn the wipers off.

I’ve logged into ACDelco tds.com subscriptions. I’ve done my login.  What i’m going to do is go ahead and click view here on subscriptions.  I use SPS2 and a 2 year subscription per VIN is $40. A really good deal IMO. This is probably a $200-300 service at a dealer. The VCX Nano is $119 and I want a subscription to the legit GM GDS2, but that’s like $500 for 2 years.

I have the vcx nano software installed. My sacrificial MacBook pro i have a windows partition on there because vxdiag software has the virus and may interfer with Techline Connect.

I’ve got my vcx nano plugged in to vehicle and connect with laptop via USB

You can see there’s a red light for power.
Select VXDAIG J2534 interface
Launch SPS2

i think it’s going to give me an error or a warning about that and here we are you are attempting to reprogram. it’s the same calibration yeah it’s fine.

 

so some of you probably be doing this for the first time we’ll probably be putting a new calibration on so you don’t get that error.

i downloaded it I think it’s a pretty small piece of software my internet out here in the country is pretty slow

We will see the estimate time remaining, it is not accurate if you noticed it was like 15 minutes since i started talking about it

the vehicle is processing the updates it’s actually already uploaded it the module is actually installing it processing it might take a few more minutes.

there we go and i’m done so i am going to click clear dtc’s down here at the bottom

there we go dtc’s have been successfully cleared

great success very excited, this is a very quick painless process once you have the vxdiag vcx nano for gm scanner.

You’re used to dealing with it. It goes pretty smoothly.
