Only an updated calibration can be loaded into the vehicle computer.) (The GM setup will not allow the same calibration to be reinstalled over itself. You will notice that the PC screen will display a blue progress bar as the software is uploading to the vehicle. –The system now starts transferring data.
Choose the update bulletin/recalibration number from the menu. Select “normal reprogramming” or “VCI” (special modifications). Choose the operating system, engine, fuel system, speedometer or transmission. –Turn the deice ignition switch on and wait for the start screen Connect the Tech 2 scan tool into the vehicle’s diagnostic socket
–Start the GM recalibration software program on your PC and welcome the vehicle information (year, make, model, etc.) program –Connect your Tech2 scan tool with laptop with a RS232 pass-thru interface –Insert the TIS 2000 CD into the computer, Tis2000 helps to get the latest calibration for the PCM TIS2000 XP Win 7 Win 8 32/64 bit install:
If your laptop does not have a RS232 port, then will need to buy the needed usb cable to connect the Tech II to the laptop, and make sure to install the needed USB driver into the the XP shell as well.ĭrivers are listed about half way down on the page.Īs for the cracked Tis2000 (all three disc’s and dongle crack), pretty easy to find for free on the web with a search to download it for free. Anyway, after you get that all installed and XP Mode is booted, you can copy the OP’s cracked TIS2000.zip over to the WinXP Desktop and follow the README.txt inside to install it.
exe that checks if your OS install is legitimate. Before you can download these updates, M$ makes you run a little. You need to install Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC in order to use it.
You can enable it by going to Control Panel and clicking on 16-bit Application Support then clicking Enable.įor those of you with genuine copies of Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate with a multi-core processor (who doesn’t run Win7 on a multi-core these days) these versions of Windows 7 allow you to use Windows Virtual PC, which lets you virtually run Windows XP Pro without a disc or OS installation. However, if you have a 32-bit copy of Windows 8 installed (I don’t wanna know why you do), running 16-bit applications are disabled by default. This will just work, without having to run anything in compatibility mode. Therefore, you are able to install TIS2000 natively on ANY 32-bit Windows system.
The problem with installing TIS2000 on newer machines is that, while the TIS2000 program itself is 32-bit, the installer and drivers are 16-bit. And 32-bit versions of Windows are backwards compatible with 16-bit applications. So the short version, build a VM shell in XP with something like VM work station on your win 10 machine, load the three discs to the VM shell, install the crack, then build the driver.Ħ4-bit versions of Windows contain backwards compatibility with 32-bit applications, but not with 16-bit applications. On export vets, you have to use SPS programming for programming in fobs, since the key in the cylinder does not work on them. Tis2000 is only used for SPS programming, and the Tech II is put into pass through mode when using such. It’s very unlikely that anyone would have this legitimately unless they were a dealer as it’s supplied and supported by Vauxhall and isn’t cheap, therefore if people have this or offer to sell it then it will more than likely be a counterfeit copy which is why we don’t allow discussion of it on the forum (it’s in the rules ) I will try to help others to pay it forward.TIS (Time in Service) 2000 is the Vauxhall Dealer’s official diagnostic software for all of the Vauxhall range. Thanks again for everyone's help on this forum. I would be happy to help anyone in my area that needs Tech II help.I have already gone in and turned the stupid daytime running lights off!!!! Car is driving like brand new although I do think I have an oil leak somewhere that will require a little investigation work.
Tech II tends to be a little quirky like that.Īnyway, I am on my third day with no engine lights, and no rough running. I did get an error when trying to download the software onto the new ECM - it was an infotainment module error.I was able to by pass it by turning the radio on so the ECM would recognize it.simple fix. I would much recommend running an emulator on a current PC or Mac versus finding an old laptop because of the speed issue. I also was able to run Win XP on my Macbook Pro which is nice because it is super fast so it loads Win XP in a couple of seconds. Ok.so I finally was able to program a new ECM that only cost 99 dollars.I guess the first one i purchased was bad.
