Security link a replacement Rear Drive Module to your VIN and push the latest GM calibration updates. DIY kit ships with an OBDSync scantool and a 2-token redemption serial — the RDM job uses 1 token, so you’ll have 1 spare for another module.
FWD-only CG1 Captivas don’t have an RDM. This listing only applies to AWD models with the active rear differential clutch system.
The RDM job uses 1 token. The kit ships with a 2-token serial as standard, so you’ll have 1 spare token on your account for any other supported Captiva module job.
The Rear Drive Module (RDM) on your AWD CG1 Captiva drives the electromagnetic clutch that engages the rear differential when AWD is needed. Without the RDM working, the car defaults to FWD only and the AWD warning will light on the cluster. When the RDM is replaced, the new unit needs to be security linked to your VIN and loaded with the correct factory calibrations before AWD will engage.
All programming is done in the vehicle via OBD-II using OBDSync on a Windows laptop — no need to remove or ship the RDM.
Provide your VIN at checkout. We ship the OBDSync scantool with a printed 2-token redemption serial.
Download & install OBDSync (Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit). Sign in and enter your redemption serial to add the 2 tokens.
Plug the scantool into your Captiva’s OBD-II port, select RDM options in OBDSync, work completed in minutes.
