Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The theft deterrent control module produces the theft deterrent fuel enable signal when ignition is ON and the proper transponder key value is detected. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel enable signal during crank. If the proper signal is present on the Class 2 Serial Data Circuit, the PCM enables the fuel delivery in order to allow the engine to start. If the PCM is replaced, the replacement PCM should learn the password within a few seconds after the ignition is turned ON. DTC P1630 is an information code indicating that the PCM is ready to learn the theft deterrent password. The engine starts and continues to run with DTC P1630 set.
