Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) sends the fuel enable password to the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The ECM verifies the fuel enable password received matches the password stored in memory. If the fuel continue password is correct, the ECM enables the starting and fuel delivery systems. When replacing a ECM with a GM SPO replacement part, the new ECM will learn the incoming fuel enable password immediately upon receipt.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1629 Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal Not Received
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM has not received the fuel enable password from the BCM within 1 second.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The vehicle will not start. |
| • | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) will illuminate the SECURITY indicator. |
| • | The ECM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
| • | The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
A GM SPO replacement ECM is in a functional state to learn the password from the theft deterrent control module. If the theft deterrent control module is replaced, the ECM must be placed in password learning mode to relearn the new password. Once learned, the password becomes permanent information that remains in the ECM. The loss of ECM battery or ignition voltage does not affect the programmed password information. Refer to Immobilizer System Component Programming .
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step verifies if the condition for setting DTC B3055 is current.
-
To set this code, the password that the ECM has learned does not agree with the password being received from the BCM or the ECM did not received the password from the theft deterrent control module. This condition can occur if the BCM has been replaced and the Programming Theft Deterrent System Components procedure has not been performed.
-
If the ECM resets the DTC after the programming theft deterrent system components procedure has been performed, the BCM is malfunctioning.

Important: If a 10-Minute or 30-Minute Re-Learn Procedure is performed, all keys not learned at that time will be erased and will not be recognized. Perform the Adding Keys procedure on all keys or instruct the customer how to perform the Adding Keys procedure. Refer to Adding Keys .
