The Global A architecture system prohibits the adaption of used control modules among vehicles. Attempting to swap in used control modules will lead to a no-start situation and will can cause failure of additional modules due to data corruption.
Only new controllers from GM can be used with techline connect (SPS) if a replacement is needed.
This Global A system started in 2010 and is found on the models below:
> 2010+ Chevrolet Camaro
> 2010+ Chevrolet Equinox
> 2010+ Buick Lacrosse
> 2010+ Cadillac SRX
> 2010+ GMC Terrain
> 2011+ Chevrolet Cruze

> 2013 Cadillac ATS
> 2013 Cadillac XTS
> 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
> 2013 Chevrolet Captiva
> 2013 Chevrolet Spark
These are the controllers locked and can't be swapped unless virginized or cloned from original:

> Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
> Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
