Exclamation 1994 Buick Regal GS ECM Relearn or Bypass

Hey I purchased a new ECM from Flagship 1 for my Regal and my car won't start after installing. I've tried performing the Pass-key 2 relearn and it did not work.

Is there any way to relearn the system or is there a way to disable the security system for my car to start with the new ECM?

Passkey 2 Relearn following these steps:

1. Insert ignition key and turn to the “ON ” position. Do not attempt to start the engine. Leave the key in the “ON ” position for approximately 11 minutes. The security light will be steady on or flashing for the 11-minute period. Do not proceed to Step 2 until the security light turns off or stops flashing. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF ” position for 30 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON ” position as in Step 1 for 11 minutes. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF ” position for 30 seconds. 5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON ” position as in Step 1 for 11 minutes for a third time. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF ” position for 30 seconds for a third time. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON ” position for 30 seconds. 8. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF ” position. 9. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts and runs the relearn is complete.

Side note: I see you're from Flint. I use to live off Ballenger!

Did you do the learn cycle three times? You MUST allow it to turn off the light off and do it three times.

I followed the instructions exactly 3 times with no success. The car'* security light (if it has one) did not appear during the process.

As far as I am concerned you can't relearn keys when swapping the ECU on 94 and 95 models. I read that you have to remove the old ECU'* EPROM chip and put it into the new reman. ECU.
