  2. Virgin Status.

    After Replacing new "ECM" scantool displays that ECM is Virgin status in Key Teaching mode "VIRGIN" status means that ECM has not matched any PIN Code before.

    NOTE: Key Teaching Procedure
    Key teaching must be done after replacing a faulty ECM or when providing additional keys to the vehicle owner. The procedure starts with an ECM request for vehicle specific data from the scanner. The "virgin" ECM stores the vehicle specific data and the key teaching can be started. The "learnt" ECM compares the vehicle specific data from the scanner with the stored data. If the data are correct, the teaching can proceed.
    If incorrect vehicle specific data have been sent to the ECM three times, the ECM will reject the request of key teaching for one hour. This time cannot be reduced by disconnecting the battery or any other manipulation. After reconnecting the battery, the timer starts again for one hour.
    The key teaching is done by ignition on with the key and additional tester commands. The ECM stores the relevant data in the EEPROM and in the transponder. Then the ECM runs the authentication required for confirmation of the teaching process. The successful programming is then confirmed by a message to the scanner. If the key is already known to the ECM from a previous teaching, the authentication will be accepted and the EEPROM data are updated.
    There is no changed transponder content (this is impossible for a learnt transponder) .
    The attempt to repeatedly teach a key, which has been taught already during the same teaching cycle, is recognized by the ECM. This rejects the key and a message is sent to the scanner.
    The ECM rejects invalid keys, which are presented for teaching. A message is sent to the scanner.
    The key can be invalid due to faults in the transponder or other reasons, which result from unsuccessful programming of data. If the ECM detects different authenticators of a transponder and an ECM, the key is considered to be invalid. The maximum number of taught keys is 4.
    If an error occurs during the Immobilizer Service Menu, the ECM status remains unchanged and a specific fault code is stored. If the ECM status and the key status do not match for teaching of keys, the scanner procedure will be stopped and a specific fault code will be stored at ECM.
