Programming Theft Deterrent System Components: Notes

NOTE: Due to component variability, the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system must have the learn procedure performed regardless, if vehicle starts on the first ignition cycle after a VTD repair. All codes in the theft deterrent module must be cleared for a relearn.
NOTE: The BCM must be programmed with proper RPO configurations before performing learn procedures. If replacing BCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, the module will learn Passlock® sensor data code immediately. The existing PCM however, must learn the new fuel continue password when BCM is replaced.
NOTE: If replacing a PCM with a replacement part, after programming, these modules will learn incoming fuel continue password immediately upon receipt of a password message. Once a password message is received and a password is learned, a learn procedure must be performed to change this password again. A PCM which has been previously installed in another vehicle will have learned the other vehicle's fuel continue password and will require a learn procedure after programming to learn current vehicle's password.

Use these procedures after replacing:
