Set Up New Theft Deterrent Control Module: Notes

When replacing a theft deterrent control module with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, module will learn keys immediately. Existing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must learn new fuel continue password when theft deterrent control module is replaced. When replacing a PCM with a GM SPO replacement part, new PCM will learn incoming fuel continue password immediately after programming and upon receipt of a password message. Once a password message is received and a password is learned, perform learn procedure to change this password again. PCM which had been installed in another vehicle will have learned fuel continue password of another vehicle theft deterrent control module. Perform either 10-minute or 30-minute relearn procedure after programming to learn fuel continue password of current vehicle's theft deterrent control modules. When performing either relearn procedure, all previously learned keys will be erased from theft deterrent control module memory. Use only a master key when performing first relearn procedure. If you use a valet key first, theft deterrent control module will not allow additional keys to be learned. Use this procedure only if replacing theft deterrent control module with a GM SPO replacement part.
