IMPORTANT:
- When replacing a steering column lock control module (SCLCM) with a GM SPO Replacement Part, insure the procedure to setup a new SCLCM is performed.
- When replacing an SCLCM with a GM SPO Replacement Part, the new SCLCM will learn the incoming fuel continue password of the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) immediately upon the next ignition switch from OFF to CRANK. A SCLCM which had been installed in another vehicle will have learned the fuel continue password of the other vehicles RCDLR.
