Choose this page if your Chevrolet Equinox is any model year in the 2005-2009 generation.

Module programming, immobilizer and key security work, SRS reset, and ECU/BCM/TCU/ABS setup for the Chevrolet Equinox 2005-2009 generation. Mobile service is available in the Dallas/Fort Worth service area; mail-in is temporarily unavailable.

Technical snapshot
  • Platform Theta (1st Gen, 2005-2009)
  • CAN Architecture HS-CAN (500 kbps) - ISO 15765-4 compliant; OBD2 DLC Pin 6/14
  • Security GM PASSKey III / PassLock II (BCM security seed); resistor pellet or PassLock cylinder sensor; PIN via Tech 2 or GDS2; AKL requires BCM relearn procedure + security PIN

The module, immobilizer, and security rows below are consolidated across the full 2005-2009 generation. A year badge marks rows that apply only to part of the span; rows without a badge apply to every year. Year-specific differences are summarized under “What changes across 2005-2009”.

OVERVIEW

Key programming requires manufacturer-level tool access. Add key supported. All keys lost (AKL) supported.

Platform: Theta (1st Gen, 2005-2009)

Confirmed

Verify platform code matches when cross-referencing part numbers across model years.

TOOL ACCESS MATRIX

Tool access for this exact year

Representative tool access paths for this exact model year, gated by the vehicle data and source packet we currently trust.

Factory scan, coding, and calibration access

GM GDS2 / GM Tech2Win / GM MDI 2

Factory routines and secure server authorization control this path when aftermarket coverage is not enough for the VIN.

OEM subscription required

Make-level OEM tool map plus exact-year gateway and ADAS fields.

ADAS scan, setup, and verification

Autel, Launch Tech, Topdon

Used where aftermarket coverage supports the procedure; OEM software remains required for locked factory routines.

Tool subscription required

Service-level scanner-vendor source packet plus exact-year ADAS records.

Bench cloning and chip-level recovery

Alientech / Autotuner / Orange5 / Scanmatik / Flex / VVDI2 / PCMFlash / CGDI / X-Prog

Used only when the module, donor data, EEPROM, MCU, or crash-data workflow requires bench or chip-level handling.

Bench/chip-level only

Bench programmer source packet plus exact-year module/security records.

SCANNER REALITY

WHAT WE RESOLVE

1st Gen (2005-2009) common module and security issues

  • SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve Sensing & Diagnostic Module (SDM) (2005-2008), Sensing & Diagnostic Module (SDM) (2005-2006), and Sensing & Diagnostic Module (SDM) (2005). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
  • Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
  • Gateway, key, and immobilizer access Gateway, key, and immobilizer procedures are represented by 10 merged security records. Access and all-keys-lost support varies by year - verify by VIN.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Reference part number: 15282799 (2005-2008) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Do all Chevrolet Equinox (2005-2009) years use the same parts?

No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2005-2009; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.

Can you program keys or immobilizer systems for Chevrolet Equinox (2005-2009)?

Yes, where the VIN and security workflow support it. The generation data includes 10 gateway, immobilizer, or key-security records. Gateway modules include Central Gateway Module. Key records are present in the merged generation data. Security access, all-keys-lost eligibility, and add-key workflows vary by year - verify by VIN.

How long does service take for Chevrolet Equinox (2005-2009)?

Most programming, cloning, SRS, immobilizer, and key-security jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Service time varies by module type, condition, security access, and the active mobile service path. Mail-in module intake is temporarily unavailable; do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.

Is Chevrolet Equinox (2005-2009) service mobile or mail-in?
