Theft Deterrent Password Learn Procedure: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and 2002 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The Body Control Module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper RPO configurations before performing learn procedures. See PROGRAMMING in appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

If replacing the 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 the BCM is replaced.

If replacing a PCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, after programming, these modules will learn the 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 the current vehicle's password.

Use this procedure after replacing:

Passlock™ Sensor
