Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control module (BCM) sends fuel enable password to the powertrain control module (PCM) via the serial data circuit when the ignition is ON and the BCM has read a learned transponder value from the key. The PCM verifies the fuel enable password to the fuel enable password stored in memory. If the fuel enable password is correct, the PCM enables starting and fuel delivery systems. When replacing a PCM with a GM SPO replacement part, the new PCM will learn the incoming fuel enable password immediately upon receipt. DTC P1630 is an informational code indicating the PCM is ready to learn the fuel enable password.
