Circuit Description

In this mode, the body control module (BCM) will learn the current Passlock sensor code value. The following list is the two theft relearn procedures:

    • Scan Tool Relearn Procedure
    • Auto-Learn Procedure

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • A new BCM has been installed and the ignition is turned to the ON position but not rotated to the CRANK position. Once the ignition switch has been rotated to the CRANK position, the BCM will learn the Passlock code. The Theft Relearn Procedure will need to be run in order to make the powertrain control module (PCM) receive the correct fuel enable password.
    • The BCM is in the learn mode but does not see a valid Passlock sensor code because of a sensor or a wiring problem.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The vehicle will not run. The security telltale will be ON.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The DTC will clear after an ignition cycle has occurred after the BCM has learned a valid code.
    • Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Prior to replacing a BCM, ensure that all of the diagnostics have been completed. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Displaying in Body Control Systems.
    • Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and the connectors.
    • Inspect the Passlock sensor harness for intermittent or poor connections. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.
