Holden & GM Programming
ECU, BCM and related module programming, calibration and configuration for supported Holden and GM applications.
Programming is often an important part of a conversion, replacement module or vehicle repair. UCW works with the calibration and configuration data behind the vehicle as well as the physical wiring, allowing the two sides of the job to be handled together where required.
Services can include ECU and module programming, configuration changes, calibration identification and preparation, security-related programming for conversion applications, and mail-in programming for supported modules.
More than just flashing an ECU
Real tools and calibration data
These are examples from the actual software and systems used in UCW programming and calibration work.
VIN, RPO & module calibration identification
UCW maintains vehicle and module calibration information to help identify the calibration data associated with supported Holden and HSV applications. The database brings VIN, vehicle description, RPO information and module calibration coverage together in one place.
GM calibration package work
Calibration files can be reviewed and prepared as part of supported programming jobs. This includes working with the individual calibration modules that make up an ECU software package rather than treating every programming job as a single generic file.
Tech2 & TIS2000 support
Older Holden and GM vehicles use a different generation of factory diagnostic and programming systems. Tech2 and TIS2000 form part of the tooling used for supported earlier applications.
EDI configuration editing
For supported Holden and HSV applications, UCW can work with EDI configuration data including vehicle and model configuration fields. This is specialised configuration work separate from a normal engine tune.
EDI programming & in-vehicle configuration
EDI configuration work can be carried through to the vehicle, including supported Holden and HSV model, display and vehicle configuration changes. This example shows a programmed EDI configuration operating in the vehicle.
VE Cluster, BCM & ABS module programming
Supported VE modules can be programmed or configured on the bench when appropriate. This example shows an instrument cluster, BCM and ABS module used for bench programming and configuration work.
HP Tuners / VCM Editor
Another part of the supported GM and Holden programming workflow is ECU calibration work using tools such as HP Tuners VCM Editor. This example shows an E38 controller and its operating system and calibration information.
Binary & calibration file analysis
Some development work goes below the normal programming interface and involves examining the calibration data itself. Binary and hex-level analysis is used where required for development, comparison and supported specialised programming work.

Need a module programmed?
Send through the vehicle details, module type and what you are trying to achieve. We can confirm whether it is a supported programming job and what needs to be supplied.
Programming availability depends on the vehicle, module, hardware and software combination. Some jobs may require additional vehicle or module information before the correct programming path can be confirmed.
