Tech 2 Final Update
January 28, 2013
In December 2012, GM North America released the final diagnostic software update for the Tech 2. The data — accessed via TIS2Web as a download — is used for the Tech 2 scan tool as well as the Tech2Win PC-based application. Although this update will be the final version for the Tech 2 scan tool, future Tech2Win application updates may be available.

The Tech 2 scan tool or Tech2Win application can be used for diagnosing 2013 model year and earlier GM vehicles. The Global Diagnostic System 2 (GDS 2) will be the only diagnostic tool for diagnosing vehicles for 2014 model year and beyond authored by GM.
If an issue is identified with the GM-authored Tech 2 software after December 2012, the issue will be evaluated and a decision will be made whether to author new Tech 2 software or to author the vehicle(s) in question in GDS 2. If the fix is implemented in the Tech 2 software, there will be a special, unscheduled release of the software through TIS2Web.
Although the GM software updates for the Tech 2 will conclude, GM will continue to support the Tech 2 hardware.
