Password must be learned when Passlock™ sensor, BCM or PCM is replaced. This procedure must be performed after ignition switch replacement. If BCM is replaced, BCM must be programmed with proper RPO configurations before performing relearn procedures. If PCM is replaced, after programming, PCM will immediately learn the first password it receives. If password needs to be changed, learn procedure will need to be performed.

Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Turn ignition switch from OFF to START position, then leave turned to ON position. SECURITY indicator will come on and stay on for at least 10 minutes. After SECURITY indicator goes out, turn ignition off for 5 seconds. Repeat this procedure 2 more times. After third time, turn ignition off.
