10-Minute Learn Procedure

NOTE: When replacing a theft deterrent control module with an GM SPO Replacement Part, the module will learn the keys immediately. The existing PCM must learn the new fuel continue password when you replace the theft deterrent control module.

NOTE: When replacing a PCM with a GM SPO Replacement Part, the new PCM will learn the 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 the learn procedure to change this password again. A PCM which had been installed in another vehicle will have learned the fuel continue password of the other vehicle's theft deterrent control module. Perform either the 10-minute relearn procedure or 30-minute relearn procedure after programming to learn the fuel continue password of the current vehicle's theft deterrent control modules.

NOTE: When performing either relearn procedure, all previously learned keys will be erased from the theft deterrent control module's memory.

NOTE: Additional keys may be learned immediately after the first relearn procedure by inserting the additional key and turning the ignition to RUN within 10 seconds of removing the previously learned key.

NOTE: Use only a master key when performing the first relearn procedure. If you use a valet key first, the theft deterrent control module will not allow additional keys to be learned.

NOTE: This procedure requires a Tech 2® scan tool and a Techline® terminal with current SPS (Service Programming System) software.

NOTE: Use this procedure after replacing the Passkey® III (PK3) keys, theft deterrent control module or PCM.

NOTE: If replacing a theft deterrent control module with a GM SPO Replacement Part, perform the procedure to setup a new theft deterrent control module prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure.

Connect scan tool to vehicle.
Turn ignition on, with engine OFF.
Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on vehicle.
With scan tool, select Request Info. under Service Programming System and follow scan tool on-screen instructions.
Disconnect scan tool from vehicle and connect scan tool to a Techline® terminal with the current Service Programming System (SPS) software.
On the Techline® terminal, select Service Programming System and follow Techline® terminal on-screen instructions.
Disconnect scan tool from Techline® terminal and reconnect scan tool to vehicle.
With a master Passkey® III key, turn ON the ignition, with engine OFF.
With scan tool, select Program ECU under Service Programming System.
At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.

NOTE: On some vehicles, the SECURITY telltale maybe illuminated on steady for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.

Observe scan tool, after about 10 minutes, scan tool will display "Programming Successful, Turn OFF Ignition". The vehicle is now ready to relearn the key information and/or the passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to ON.
Turn OFF ignition and wait 5 seconds.
With master Passkey® III key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the key transponder information and PCM has now learned the fuel continue password.

NOTE: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules.

Turn OFF the ignition and wait 15 seconds minimum.

NOTE: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules.

With a second master Passkey® III key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the second master Passkey® III key transponder information.
Using scan tool, clear any DTCs.
