We just got the lock cylender and housing and key from autopart store and didn't work so we put old one back in..
The BCM can 'learn' a different sensor by doing the "security relearn" procedure which takes a little more than a half hour
I'm not so sure about that. The 30 minute relearn is for the "handshake" between the BCM and PCM. If the key sensor is replaced or disturbed, that requires a Tech 2 to have the BCM pair up to it.
(It looks like its @Mooseman FTW on this one...)
Y possible way to catch me through it.. I can give you my number?Ignoring the fact that I have personally done this without the use of any scantool?
No offense meant, Tom... Just trying to Dial in on the OP's concerns and what he might be able to do to avoid any entanglements if he goes ahead and makes changes with his Steering Column and Lock Work Hardware... That's all.
Based upon the information in that lower paragraphs on that Link... the Major Components missing from your Excellent Bench Top set up that may alter the outcome of making this work ... are the Steering Column Housing, the Key-Lock Cylinder and the Ignition Key which if installed as in the case inside of the vehicle... might prompt the need to use a Tech 2 and follow through the Re-Set Commands for convincing the PCM that SUV is not being stolen.
Thankyou I have a buddy with one I'll see if he will do it for me...I must note that everything is back in it's original way when I bought it...or access to a High End Scanner courtesy a Reputable Local Auto Repair Shop... (with an Autel, Snap-On or other High Quality and equally capable Bi-Directional Scanner, Etc...) Try calling around to some Local Auto Repair Shops (NOT Dealerships) and explain your dilemma to find out what they would Charge for doing this Key-Lock Tumbler-Ignition Security Update. If your vehicle is not drive-able. find out if they would 'Throw in a Tow' for not too much more Money... This is where paying to be a AAA Member pays off, too.
