Password Learn Procedure For Anti-Theft System

  1. Password learn procedure must be performed if Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced. A password is communicated between Body Control Module (BCM) and PCM to provide engine operation. If PCM is replaced, the PCM must learn the password from the BCM. If password learn procedure is not performed a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set in the PCM when attempting to start engine.
    NOTE: Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding. Performing this procedure will cause a DTC P1630 to be set in the PCM. It will be necessary to use scan tool to check for DTC P1630 when performing this procedure.
