I am stuck. I recently bought a 2001, 5 Speed, Sunfire GT that had the gm supercharger installed. I also own a 2001, 5 speed, Sunfire SE (2.4L). My intentions were to remove the supercharger from the GT , place it in the SE, finally returning the GT to stock specs and sell it. The last step in the process was to switch the VCM's, prior to switching them both car started and ran. When the switch was done neither car would run. However, when I once again swapped the VCM's they both ran???????Should I be able to not re-flash my stock VCM, but switch them between the two vehicles?
Thanks for your help,
Anthony
you have to do the theft relearn

Can you please elaborate on this. What VCM are you refering to?
00-05 theft relearn
Programming Theft Deterrent System Components Important * The body control module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper RPO configurations before performing learn procedures. Refer to BCM Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Control System. * If replacing the BCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, the module will learn Passlock(tm) sensor data code immediately. The existing PCM however, must learn the new fuel continue password when the BCM is replaced. * If replacing a PCM with a GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) replacement part, after programming, these modules will learn the incoming fuel continue password immediately upon receipt of a password message. Once a password message is received, and a password is learned, a learn procedure must be performed to change this password again. A PCM which has been previously installed in another vehicle will have learned the other vehicle's fuel continue password and will require a learn procedure after programming to learn the current vehicle's password. Conditions Use these procedures after replacing: * Passlock(tm) Sensor * BCM * PCM 10 Minute Learn Procedure * Tools Required Tech 2 * Techline terminal with current SPS (Service Programming System) software 1. Connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle. 2. Select "Request Information" under "Service Programming". 3. Disconnect the Tech 2 from the vehicle and connect it to a Techline terminal. 4. On the Techline terminal, select "Theft Module Re-Learn" under "Service Programming". 5. Disconnect the Tech 2 from the Techline terminal and connect it to the vehicle. 6. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 7. Select "VTD Re-Learn" under "Service Programming". 8. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start). 9. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF (the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK). 10. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. 11. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the password). 12. With the Tech 2 (scan tool), clear any DTCs. 30 Minute Learn Procedure Tools Required None 1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start). 3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF. 4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes (the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK). Important The vehicle learns the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. 6. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or password). 7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed (history DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles). © Copyright General Motors Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
also make sure you swap the MAP sensor. stock is 1bar and flashed uses a 2bar.
Thank you for the information. You certainly answered my question.
i didnt have time to seperate it
but it tells what you need to do for the non scan tool relearn

Correct me if I am interpreting this wrong. Are you telling me that I can in fact switch the VCM's between both cars as long as I do the password relearn procedure?

Add to the above:
and without taking either car to a dealership? My end goal, if possible, is to simply switch the VCM's being one is stock and the other is reflashed.
swap the pcm's and do the manual relearn for the theft
and you should be good on both cars
