30 Minute Re-Learn Procedure

Use this procedure after replacing:
- The ignition lock cylinders
- The theft deterrent module
- The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) if necessary, see important above.
1. Turn the ignition switch to RUN, with the engine OFF using a master (not a valet) PASS-Key III Key (Black).
2. Observe the SECURITY indicator, after approximately 10 minutes the indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, and wait 5 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 two more times for a total of 3 cycles (total of 30 minutes).

IMPORTANT: The vehicle learns the key information and/or passwords on the ignition switch transition from OFF/LOCK to RUN. You must turn the ignition switch OFF/LOCK before attempting to start the vehicle.

5. Start the vehicle. The vehicle has now learned the key and password information.
6. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
