If the 10 minute learn procedure is chosen, perform the special function for BCM "Request VTD Info. for SPS" or select Service Programming Systems, and then refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming (North America, except Canada) or Immobilizer System Component Programming (Canada, Europe, Middle East, and Asia) . If the Immobilizer System Component Programming (North America, except Canada) or Immobilizer System Component Programming (Canada, Europe, Middle East, and Asia) procedure is not performed after a BCM replacement, one of the following conditions will occur:

The vehicle will not be protected against theft by the Passlock System.
