WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Pontiac Bonneville, 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2003 Chevrolet Impala, and 2003 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When replacing a theft deterrent control module with a GM SPO replacement part, the theft deterrent control module will learn the keys immediately. The PCM uses a common fuel enable signal which is received from the theft deterrent control module. Therefore, the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure is not required.

Set Up A New Theft Deterrent Control Module

    NOTE: Use this procedure only if replacing the theft deterrent control module with a GM SPO Replacement Part.
  1. With a master Passkey III key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the key transponder information.
    2. NOTE: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules. If is critical that 2 master PK3 keys are learned on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules.
  2. With a second master PK3 key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the second master PK3 transponder information.
  3. When additional keys are required to be learned, see ADDING KEYS in appropriate ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS article under ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  4. Connect scan tool to vehicle.
  5. Turn ignition on, with engine off.
  6. With a scan tool, select Setup New VTD Module in the Vehicle Theft Deterrent, Special Functions data list.
  7. Follow the scan tool on-screen instructions.
NOTE: When replacing a theft deterrent control module with a GM Service Parts Operation (SPO) Replacement Part, set up the control module prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure has been performed.

When replacing a theft deterrent control module with a GM SPO Replacement Part, the theft deterrent control module will learn the keys immediately. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses a common fuel enable signal which is received from the theft deterrent control module. Therefore, the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure is not required.

When replacing PCM with a GM SPO Replacement Part, the new PCM will learn the incoming fuel enable signal immediately upon receipt.

When performing either relearn procedure, all previously learned keys will be erased from the theft deterrent control module's memory.

Use only a master PK3 key when performing the first relearn procedure. If you use a valet key first, the theft deterrent control module will now allow additional keys to be learned.

10-Minute Relearn Procedure

    NOTE: Use this procedure is replacing the Passkey III (PK3) keys.
  1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle.
  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.
  7. Disconnect the scan tool from the Techline Terminal and re-connect the scan tool to the vehicle.
  8. With a master passkey III key, turn ignition on, with 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. NOTE: On some vehicles the SECURITY telltale maybe illuminated on steady 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 information on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
  12. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 5 seconds.
  13. With a master PK3 key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the key transponder information.
    14. NOTE: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules.
  14. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 15 seconds minimum.
    15. NOTE: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured theft deterrent control modules.
  15. With a second master passkey III key, start engine. The theft deterrent control module has now learned the second master Passkey III key transponder information
  16. When additional keys are required to be learned, see ADDING KEYS in appropriate ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS article under ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  17. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.

Use this procedure is replacing the Passkey III (PK3) keys.

30-Minute Relearn Procedure

    NOTE: This procedure is not available on vehicles equipped with option code BAE.
