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.
The ECM is in learn mode.
DTC P0633 will set any time the ECM enters learn mode.
The security indicator will illuminate.
• | A current DTC P0633 will be cleared upon a successful engine start after exit of learn mode. |
• | A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs. |
The "key" referenced in the DTC descriptor does not refer to the vehicle key. In this case, "key" is referring to the challenge response.
Immobilizer Description and Operation
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 Programming Theft Deterrent System Components procedure. Refer to Control Module References
⇒ | If the ECM does not exit learn mode after the programming attempt, replace the ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
