Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool

NOTE: When using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS), the Instrument Cluster (IC) and the PCM parameters are reset at the same time.

NOTE: Once security access has been granted, multiple security access commands should be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting the command menu. This avoids an additional security access procedure and the associated 10 minute time delay.

Turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position.
From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select BODY-SECURITY-Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Functions and follow the on-screen instructions to ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. For additional information, refer to ANTI-THEFT SECURITY ACCESS .
From the scan tool, select: Parameter Reset and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If the IC was replaced, follow Steps 4-9. If the IC and the PCM were replaced, follow Steps 4-9. If only the PCM was replaced, the procedure is completed.

NOTE: If steps 4-9 are followed, 2 keys must be present.

From the scan tool, select: Ignition Key Code Erase and follow the on-screen instructions.
Turn the key to the OFF position and disconnect the scan tool.
NOTE: Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) keys require a 6-second programming time frame for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) data transfer to take place, while standard PATS keys only require a minimum of 3 seconds.

Turn the key to the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds (if it is an IKT key).
Remove the key, insert the second key and cycle the key to the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds (if it is an IKT key).
Both keys will now start the vehicle and will also operate the RKE functions of the vehicle (if they are IKT keys).
NOTE: The RKE data transfer will take place between the key and the IC first. After both keys are programmed into the IC , the RKE data will transfer from the IC to the Smart Junction Box (SJB). Until the final data transfer takes place into the SJB , the RKE functions will not operate.

If more keys are required to be programmed, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS .
