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

NOTE: When using the IDS, the Instrument Cluster (IC) and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) 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.

NOTE: Repair all Battery Control Module (BCM) DTCs and make sure the high voltage disconnect is installed before carrying out a parameter reset. A parameter reset will not occur if the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) is not working correctly.

Turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position.
From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select BODY-SECURITY-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 TCM were replaced, follow Steps 4-9. If only the TCM 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 and cycle the second 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 .
