Steering column swap - key - passlock - ? 2001-2002
Was browsing an auction list and saw a 2001 Express that notes it has no key. No key usually means cheap.
Is there any reason I can't just swap in a column from a 2002 that does have a key and get it to go, or is the passlock deal going to prevent that? I can't remember if that system is all in the column and independent or if it's tied to the computer. The keys don't have a chip in them or anything which leads me to believe I can do it, but figured I should ask.

Changing the Passlock™ Components
The following components contain codes or passwords, or must learn codes or passwords for the Passlock™ system to allow the vehicle to start:• The ignition lock cylinder case
• The theft deterrent control module (Passlock™ Module)
• The powertrain control module (PCM)
If any of these parts are replaced, a learn procedure must be performed.
If parts are replaced and a learn procedure is not performed, the engine will crank and will not run or will start and stall immediately.

Is there a link on that I can follow to see what the relearn procedure is?
I think I did that once with the 2002 and it failed to solve the problem, you turned the key on and off so many times in 10 minutes or something.

A mechanic or maybe locksmith can do it quickly with a Tech2 tool, or you can use the long procedure
Important: The vehicle learns the Passlock™ 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.
30 Minute Learn Procedure
Important: The vehicle learns the Passlock™ 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. - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON, vehicle will not start.
- Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
- Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
- 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™ Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
- Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock™ Sensor Data Code and/or password.
- With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed. The history DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles.
