Theft Deterrent 10-Minute Relearn Procedure for the Steering Column Lock Module

Use this procedure after replacing any of the following components:

The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
The SCLM, if previously installed in another vehicle

IMPORTANT: The SCLM relearn procedure must be done using the pass-thru procedure. Failure to use pass-thru will result in a failure to learn the theft password.

Connect a scan tool to the vehicle using the pass-thru method. This requires connecting the scan tool to the vehicle, then connecting the Techline Terminals RS-232 cable to the scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System. Once you have entered the SPS menu, select Pass-Thru under the Select Diagnostic Tool list. Select Next.
Input the vehicle information on the Techline Terminal. Select Next.
Select VTD Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn (Export Only). For SCLM password learn, choose Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn for Column Lock Module (Export Only) on the SPS terminal. Select Next.
At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.

IMPORTANT:

The scan tool will initially display 12 Minutes. The first 2 minutes allow the scan tool to initialize the appropriate control module. The remaining 10 minutes is the relearn timer.
On some vehicles the SECURITY indicator may be illuminated on steady for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure.

Observe the Techline Terminal. After approximately 10 minutes, the terminal will display Programming Completed. The vehicle is now ready to learn the passwords on the next transition from OFF to CRANK.
Turn OFF the ignition and wait 5 seconds.
Press the start switch and listen for the SCLM to initialize. The vehicle will not start at this time because the ECM has not been programmed. The SCLM has now learned the RCDLR password. Proceed to the ECM password relearn.
