DTC Descriptor
DTC P0633: Theft Deterrent Key Not ProgrammedCircuit/System Description
When learning the fuel enable password, as well as the challenge and response sequence, the engine control module (ECM) is placed in learn mode. DTC P0633 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the password and challenge/response are learned, learn mode will be exited and the DTC cleared. If the ECM does not exit learn mode, P0633 will remain current and indicate a fault.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Theft deterrent system is activated.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0633 will set any time the ECM enters learn mode.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0633 is type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Circuit/System Verification
Important: Because of normal system communications between the TDM and ECM, any theft deterrent B-codes must be diagnosed prior to the diagnosis of P-codes.
Perform the 10-Minute Immobilizer Relearn procedure. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming. The ECM should successfully complete the password learn and the vehicle should start.
| ⇒ | If the ECM does not complete the learn or vehicle starting remains disabled, replace the ECM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
