30-Minute Learn Procedure (Aztek, Montana, Rendezvous, Silhouette & Venture)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 120 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, 2002 Saturn SL, and 2002 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Use this procedure after replacing the following components:

The Passkey® III (PK3) keys.
The theft deterrent control module.
The PCM.

This procedure is not available on vehicles equipped with option code (Z49 or BAE).

If replacing a theft deterrent control module with an GM SPO Replacement Part, perform the procedure to setup a new theft deterrent control module prior to the 30-minute relearn procedure.

With a master Passkey® III key (Black), turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Observe the Security telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn off.
Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
Repeat steps 1- 3 two more times for a total of 3 cycles or 30 minutes.

NOTE: The vehicle learns the key transponder information and/or passwords on the ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle.

With a master Passkey® III key, start the vehicle. The vehicle has now learned the key transponder information and the PCM has now learned the fuel continue password.
With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
