Important: If a new vehicle/powertrain control module (VCM/PCM) is being installed
for the first the manufacturing enable bit will be set and the auto learn
procedure may not be necessary.
The following procedure allows for anyone to reprogram the EVO/Passlock™
module learned data code with any tools, other than the scan tool, when any
of the following parts are replaced:
• | The EVO/Passlock™ module |
The EVO/Passlock™ module will set the DTC B3031 in the
learn mode when entering the reprogramming procedure.
Reprogramming Procedure
Important: Erase the passlock™ related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that
are stored in the VCM/PCM. If there are any powertrain related DTCs, record
these DTCs then:
The following is the Auto Learn Procedure:
- Insure the ignition key is in the ON position.
- Clear all EVO/passlock™ module and VCM/PCM DTCs. Record
and refer any VCM/PCM DTCs to:
- Momentarily rotate the ignition key to the CRANK position (Do
NOT start the vehicle), then release it to the RUN position (Do NOT key OFF
in the process).
- Wait 10 minutes. Observe the SECURITY indicator. Refer to the
following list for the appropriate responses:
• | If the passlock™ sensor was replaced the SECURITY indicator
will flash for the 10 minutes duration. |
• | If the EVO/passlock™ module was replaced, the SECURITY indicator
will flash for a few seconds and then remain ON for the remainder of the 10 minutes
duration. |
• | If the VCM/PCM was replaced with a new programmed VCM/PCM and
connected to the vehicle for the first time, the vehicle will start and this
procedure may not be necessary. |
• | If the replacement VCM/PCM was connected to any vehicle at any
other time, even momentarily, the SECURITY indicator will flash for a few
seconds and then remain ON for the 10 minutes duration. |
- The SECURITY indicator will transition from flashing to ON briefly
to OFF after 10 minutes if remaining in the ignition ON position.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait for 10 seconds.
- Repeat steps 3-6 two more times. The new security code is
ready to be communicated among the Passlock sensor, EVO/Passlock module and
VCM/PCM. The new password is learned on the next ignition lock cylinder cycle
from OFF to CRANK to ON (start attempt).
