MDI TIS2web Pass-Thru Programming Guide

Pass-thru programming requires that the GM MDI remain connected to the terminal and to the vehicle throughout the programming process. The vehicle must be in close proximity to the terminal while using pass-thru programming.Here car-auto-repair.com share the guide on how to use MDI TIS2web to perform Pass-Thru Programming.

Note:TIS 2 Web only supports Pass-Thru Programming with the MDI.
