Theft Deterrent - Export - Including Canada
PROGRAMMING THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM COMPONENTS (EXPORT - INCLUDING CANADA)
IMPORTANT:
- When replacing an engine control module (ECM) with a GM SPO replacement part, insure the procedure to setup a new ECM is performed prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure.
- When replacing an ECM with a GM SPO replacement part, the new ECM will learn the incoming password of the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) immediately upon the next ignition switch from OFF to CRANK. A ECM which had been installed in another vehicle will have learned the theft deterrent password of another vehicle's RCDLR. Perform either the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure to learn the password of the current vehicle RCDLR.
- When performing either relearn procedure, all previously learned keys fobs will be erased from the RCDLR memory.
- Additional keys fobs may be learned after performing either the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure. Refer to Transmitter Programming (Domestic) Transmitter Programming (Export - Including Canada) in Keyless Entry.
Tools Required
- Scan tool
- Techline Terminal with current Service Programing System (SPS) software
10-Minute Relearn Procedure
Use this procedure after replacing any of the following components:
- Key fobs, customer has no known fobs.
- RCDLR
- The ECM, see Important above.
1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
- When replacing either the RCDLR, key fobs or ECM and the 10-minute relearn procedure is used, ensure that the appropriate calibration is selected for the replacement component on the calibration selection screen of the service programming system. The appropriate calibrations for specific vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system components are described below.
- When replacing RCDLR and key fobs and the 10-minute relearn procedure is used, the vehicle theft deterrent learn for RCDLR calibration is required.
- When replacing an ECM that has previously learned another vehicle RCDLR password and the 10-minute relearn procedure is used, the vehicle theft deterrent learn for powertrain system control module calibration is required. This clears the previously password in the ECM and enables the ECM to learn the next password it receives.
- When replacing a RCDLR and the 10-minute relearn procedure is used, the vehicle theft deterrent learn for powertrain system control module calibration is required. This clears the previously password in the ECM and enables the ECM to learn the next fuel continue password it receives.
- When replacing a RCDLR with a GM SPO replacement part, insure the procedure to setup a new control module is performed prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Insure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
4. With a scan tool, select Request Info. under Service Programming System and follow the scan tool on-screen instructions.
5. Disconnect the scan tool from the vehicle and connect the scan tool to a Techline Terminal with the current Service Programming System (SPS) software.
6. On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal on-screen instructions. Ensure the correct programming procedure is selected based on component being replaced or programmed. See Important above.
7. Disconnect the scan tool from the Techline Terminal and re-connect the scan tool to the vehicle.
8. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
9. With a scan tool, select Program ECU under Service Programming System.
10. At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.
11. Observe the scan tool, after approximately 10 minutes the scan tool will display Programming Successful, Turn OFF Ignition. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the key fob information and/or the passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
IMPORTANT:
- The scan tool will initially display 12 Minutes. The first 2 minutes allow the scan tool to initialize the appropriate control module. The remaining 10 minutes is the relearn timer.
- On some vehicles the SECURITY telltale may be illuminated on steady for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.
12. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 5 seconds.
13. Start the vehicle. The ECM has now learned the RCDLR password.
14. If additional key fobs are required to be learned, refer to Transmitter Programming (Domestic) Transmitter Programming (Export - Including Canada).
15. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
16. If necessary, learn the tire pressure sensors. Refer to Tire Pressure Sensor Learn in Tire Pressure Monitoring.
