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(tm) 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:
