DTC Descriptor

DTC P0633 Theft Deterrent Key Not Programmed

Circuit/System Description
When learning the prerelease password, as well as the challenge and response sequence, the engine control module (ECM) is placed in learn mode. DTC P0633 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the password and challenge/response are learned, learn mode will be exited when the engine is successfully started. If the ECM does not exit learn mode, P0633 will remain current and indicate a fault.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ECM is in learn mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0633 will set any time the ECM enters learn mode.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The security indicator will illuminate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ A current DTC P0633 will be cleared upon a successful engine start after exit of learn mode.
^ A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids
The "key" referenced in the DTC descriptor does not refer to the vehicle key. In this case, "key" is referring to the challenge response.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE: Because of normal system communications between the TDM and ECM, any theft deterrent B-codes must be diagnosed prior to the diagnosis of P-codes.

Perform the 10-Minute Immobilizer Relearn procedure. Refer to [Programming Immobilizer System Components]. The ECM should successfully complete the password learn and the vehicle should start.
^ If the ECM does not complete the learn or vehicle starting remains disabled, replace the ECM.

Repair Instructions
Perform the [Diagnostic Repair Verification - Vehicle Diagnostic Information] after completing the diagnostic procedure.
