GM vehicles have three types of Vehicle Thief Deterrent (VTD) systems, each requiring their own set of relearn procedures. Unless these procedures are correctly performed the vehicle will not start after the PCM has been replaced. The three systems are:
Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS), Passkey, & Passkey II – resistive chip ignition key
Passlock – coded lock cylinder
Passkey III – transponder ignition key
