10-Minute Relearn Procedure

2006 Pontiac G6 GTP, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION 10-Minute Relearn Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Pontiac G6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use this procedure after replacing any of the following components:

  • The PASS-Key III plus keys
  • The theft deterrent module (TDM)
  • The powertrain control module (PCM)
    IMPORTANT: When replacing either the PASS-Key III plus keys, PCM, or TDM and the 10-Minute Relearn Procedure is used, ensure that the appropriate calibration is selected for the replacement component on the calibration selection screen of the service programming system. The appropriate calibrations for specific vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system components are described below.
    • When preparing a TDM for replacement, the Prepare Module For TDM Setup Procedure calibration is required. This allows the retrieval of required information from the TDM prior to its replacement.
    • When replacing existing PASS-Key III plus keys and the 10-Minute Relearn Procedure is used, or when relearning existing PASS-Key III plus keys to the existing TDM and the 10-Minute Relearn Procedure is used, the Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn For Learning Replacement Keys calibration is required. This clears all previously learned keys from the TDM and enables the TDM to learn new PASS-Key III plus keys. For learning additional PASS-Key III plus keys, refer to Adding Keys (Domestic)Β  or Adding Keys (Export including Canada)Β .
    • When replacing a PCM that has previously learned another vehicle TDM fuel continue password and the 10-Minute Relearn Procedure is used, the VTD Learn for L61 or VTD Learn for LX9 calibration is required. This clears the previously learned fuel continue password in the PCM and enables the PCM to learn the next fuel continue password it receives.
    • When replacing a TDM and the 10-Minute Relearn Procedure is used, the VTD Learn for L61 or VTD Learn for LX9 calibration is required. This clears the previously learned fuel continue password in the PCM and enables the PCM to learn the next fuel continue password it receives.
