Did you know? GM Setup SDM Testing on Genisys Touch

Did You Know?
GM Setup SDM Serial Number ID
In the recent vehicle coverage releases for Genisys Touch and Encore, new GM Setup SDM
tests were added. The SDM or airbag Sensing Diagnostic Module requires a scan tool
function if the module is replaced or due to certain failure conditions.
As an example, on a 2007 Buick Lacrosse the test verifies that the SDM ID stored in the BCM
matches the current module. If not, the test will synchronize the two.
The Setup SDM test can be found in various controllers. The list below provides the vehicle,
controller and test name.
