DIY coding of driver door switch module?

[rojeho]

What type of scan tool do I need to be able to code the door switch module myself? Sure I can take it to a dealer but I would rather use the excuse to buy a tool. I have coding software for my BMW. I have to believe there is a solution for GM also, but it doesn't seem to be as common.

If you have a j2534 pass through, you can flash the module with a pc using a subscription to tis2web. Not inexpensive, but it can be done.

Thanks for the links. I don't like the buy-in price of the hardware, but I think it is great that they offer 2 day subscriptions. That's a viable option for those of us with limited needs.

What disturbs me is that in other countries, they offer a 1 hour subscription for 4 euros.
Why can't we get that deal in the US? I'd also like to see a rental option for the hardware interface, it's not something I'd need to use often.

Are you able to remove the door autolock feature this way?

Should be able to turn off autolock with the dic only, wouldn't need any extra equipment.
The tis2web is for flashing new modules, or reflashing existing modules with updated firmware

I'm looking to turn off the auto lock completely so the doors are always open.

I'm not sure about that. They have tech2win, which basically duplicates the diagnostic functions of a gm tech2 and tis2web which allows you to flash the modules. So, anything the dealer can do should be available. But, they don't really describe all the capabilities in detail on the website. Maybe their tech support at acdelco could answer that.

I did find this :

Looks like it applies to the door lock function, should be easy enough.

Wonder if it works on a 08
