Hacking GM Global-B modules

I'm on a mission to create a bench setup for some GM Global-B architecture modules. My aim is to figure out some method which can be used to recycle GM Global-B modules, including changing VIN and PIN. I have some Global-B modules coming from the USA, an IPC, BCM and an ECM for starters. 

 

Things I need to know before those modules arrive.

  1. I need to know if I can connect a Global-B BCM direct to the power and Canbus data line and have DPS read the VIN, similar to the Global-A modules?

  2. Will I need to route the BCM through another module, like the Network Gateway Control Module to read the Global-B VIN with DPS?

 

This article is a placeholder for future experiments and findings.

 

 

Update 8/March/2023

Today I received my new toys from the USA. An IPC and a BCM, from a 2022 Sierra 1500 Global-B. A BCM and an ECM from a 2022 Silverado 1500 Global-B. A BCM and an ECM from a Chevy Onix Global-B. I don't have the wiring loom, so I'll need to connect them using jumper wires which is going to take me a long time to figure out. Hopefully, I'll have this bench setup up and running.

Update 17/March/2023

I've tried for a few days to get DPS to read the VIN in these modules without any success. Anyone has info and a working Global-B bench setup, can you tell me which data pin number on the OBD connector and the BCM pin number for reading VIN with DPS?

Looking at the data OBD connector schematics, I can see the 4 data lines going directly to the gateway module. On the gateway schematics, I can see two 60Ω resistors, do you think I need to add 2 60Ω resistors to the data lines in order to read the VIN with DPS?

Update 19/March/2023

I've added the 2 60Ω resistors to PIN 6 and 14 data lines. However, I still can't get DPS to read the VIN from the BCM. My next route is to source a Global-B 2022, 3-plug port K56 serial data gateway module. Until then, I'll have to place this puzzle on pause. 

 

I see that DPS has the option for "with or without gateway".

 K56 Serial Data Gateway Module
The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module gates messages between the CAN networks described in the Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus Description section below. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module needs to know what CAN control modules are present on a given vehicle in order to enable/disable loss of communication DTCs and to know what CAN control modules to track for their communication status. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module has the ability to learn the diagnostic addresses list of CAN control modules to identify what CAN control modules are equipped on the vehicle and what CAN buses they are on. If the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is replaced, this learn/verification process will have to be done again through K56 Serial Data Gateway Module programming and setup procedure in SPS. This learn process will not cause any previously learned contents to be forgotten/overwritten. If the learn process is not done on a new K56 Serial Data Gateway Module, DTC U1977 will be set until the learn procedure is executed. If the learn is invalid due to control module internal malfunction or a K56 Serial Data Gateway Module swap, DTC U3000 42 or DTC U3002 56 will be set. If any of these DTCs sets, the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module will enable loss of communication for all CAN control modules. This will result in loss of communication DTCs being set against CAN control modules that are not equipped on the vehicle.
A fault can be localized by monitoring the normal mode messages on a CAN bus. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module will monitor one signal per CAN control module per CAN bus to determine control module status. When a signal times out, a loss of communication event will be started.

 

Update 27/March/2023

Using @T c suggestion for reading the VIN with DPS at the beginning when ECM is powered on. That worked, and I can read the VIN with DPS in the 2021 global-B Chevy Onix ECM. The Onix doesn't have a separate gateway module like some of the other GM vehicles. I think the Onix gateway module is combined in its BCM. My BCM seems faulty, so I couldn't test with both modules fully connected. 

I should receive the global-B gateway module sometime this week, hopefully then I'll get the other modules working.

GM Techlink article, which has some info.

 

Update 12/April/2023

I received and connected the serial gateway module with the other modules, as shown in the GM SI schematics. I can now read the VIN with DPS anytime for all modules and perform partial programming, which is excellent. One step further. 
Global-B command functions differ from Global-A, which will take me some time to understand fully.
You will need the serial data gateway module and a genuine MDI2 to do any programming for a Global-B bench setup.

Update 1/October/2025

Today, I assisted a member who required information to connect the BCM to the Gateway module for a Global-B bench setup. I post the information here in case anyone needs it.

Info for connecting the BCM to the Gateway module for a Global-B bench setup.

Six pins are used to connect the BCM to the Gateway module.

Two battery positive and two battery negative pins need to be connected, along with two AUTOSAR pins. In total, six pins are used for connecting the BCM to the Gateway module.

For the AUTOSAR PINS: Connect the Gateway connector port X1 PIN-18 to the BCM connector port X4 PIN-19, and the Gateway connector port X1 PIN-17 to the BCM connector port X4 PIN-20.

I hope this helps anyone who needs this info.

     对于全球B架构模块,如果没有正版的DPS,最关键的是计算模块安全密钥2702,B架构的SEED的KEY值

是动态的,读一次变化一次,如果不能计算啥事也干不了

    如果可以算2702,就可以使用DPS或指令收发工具对模块的VIN,模块安全码删除等等

大佬!你可以计算2702吗

I also ordered a bunch of Global-B ECUs from a '22 CT4, but since I'm waiting for them I was wondering if anyone here had some CAN logs to share from behind the K56 Gateway (raw CAN from PT, CH or any other CAN network). I would like to compare the raw CAN vs Global-A and see how close or far they are.

Hello, I have a K56 SDGM hooked up to a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali IPC bench setup and I can read the SDGM with ID 45 but when trying to read the IPC ID 60 I get an invalid target address for ID 60? I was wondering if you could help me out? Does the K56 SDGM have to be programmed with the same VIN as the cluster first? Attached are some photos of what I'm working with! I've been a dash expert for a very long time I can do almost any vehicle in the world but this Global B stuff haha! I could help you out with basically any vehicle out there in return for your help? 🙏

More than likely your IPC is not connected fully. Use GM Service Information to get the IPC and SDGM schematics then make sure all the IPC data, power and wake up lines are connected. I was able to get IPC, BCM and ECM all connected to the SDGM and I can read all those modules with DPS and also perform full SPS programming on the bench.

The IPC depends a lot on the BCM so you may need to have a BCM connected to get the IPC functioning.

Hey Troy! I have a BCM hooked up to everything now and I can read the SDGM and I can read the BCM no problem and the IPC functions fully on my bench setup by hooking up the ethernet bus lines from the SDGM to the IPC but I still cannot read the IPC? Did you have the ethernet bus enable and the ethernet 1T+, 1T-, 1R+, 1R- from the SDGM x2 to the DLC for communication from the cluster to work I'm baffled by this fml

The GM MDI 2 works fine with the Global-B. 
 

I place this Global-B mission on hold due to work and less free time. But I do have some new ideas and findings to test out when I hit it again, hopefully soon.

Don't know if this helps, regarding the resistors in a can bus.

The bus wants to see 60 ohms across the bus lines (pins 6 - 14 for original CAN) this was accomplished by having two 120 Ohm resisters (in parallel) in two different modules (Usually PCM and one other) when I would make "bucks" we did not use PCMs at first, but usually all the other modules. and we would just put a single 60 ohm resister across the 6 & 14 pins in the back of the OBD / DLC connector.  When we added the PCMs to the mix we had to change the resistors to 120 ohm because the PCMs already had a 120 ohm inside them.

It is very simple to test connect all your modules and test resistance across that bus if your at 60 Ohms your done. If NOT add either a 60 or a 120 depending on what you already have.

This resistance was/is critical for a Chrysler can bus, but I have GM buddy's who said they did not have to deal with it. That was for 2010 vintage vehicles. Don't know if things have changed or not.

Not sure if you’ve heard of the Comma.ai 3x- but I was going to say if you have figured out global B, I know it’s much more intricate than than I understand, but that company is on hold with GM products holding their product development back. I feel like you would have a lot of leverage to possibly have them buy your software/knowledge to make their system once again compatible, all I know is something about global b scrambles the data where the system cannot read it. I came across your website when doing research about gobal B. Thanks :)

Troy's goal here is to reprogram the VIN (and possibly some other parameters) using offline DPS. That is not what Comma is afer.

The CAN messages are signed and padded with some kind of cryptographic magic using an AES key which resides in the HSM peripheral in the MCUs of the ECUs. This key is difficult to extract. Comma needs to retrieve that key in order to generate forged signatures to simulate the messages from the LKAS/ACC modules to automate the drive. The AES key is shared across all modules in a given car, but is unique to each car.

It's possible that the AES key is automatically derived/calculated from the VIN. This could be verified by changing the VIN of a part using Troy's methods on the bench, and installing that module in the car to see if the module works without requiring any additional special/online function.
