Cobalt Clutch Relearn by VXDIAG VCX NANO GM

Question: Does the clutch switch wiring have a fuse that can be checked, I rigged up a push button start but I still would rather the key switch worked.

Suggestion:

You need to relearn the switch. It’s a quick process, but needs the Tech2 software, or the VXDiag VCX Nano GM.

1st suggestion.

On your car, it’s not actually a switch, it’s a potentiometer (variable resistor). Typically one side will be tied high, say 5V, and the other side tied to signal ground. And the middle, the wiper, connected to the input. If you are shorting things, it’s hard to tell for sure if you have damaged anything without knowing for sure what you did and how the PWB is designed. But it’s never a good idea to direct short anything without knowing for sure. Using a current limiting resistor to “short” might have been a safer bet.

My car does actually have a switch (07 SS/SC) so it hard for me to be able to test values and help you. If the TECH2 can read the values and they are within specs, that would tell you if it’s okay.

Otherwise, you could read the values of all three wires during the different clutch positions and post them and maybe someone with the same car can compare them to their known good values. That would tell us a lot.

2nd suggestion.

Have you ever been able to start with the key switch? I am assuming no, which might be the reason you went with the push button start jumper band-aid.

If you were able to start it with the key at one point, what changed that made it stop working, what prompted you to change the PCM? Are you just guessing this is a clutch switch issue or you know for sure?

I am concerned about your “shorted the clutch switch” not clear what you did. Hopefully there is no damage to any circuits.

you might need to relearn the switch with VXDIAG Nano.

The VXdiag is around $100 on vxdiagshop.com; it fully emulates a Tech2 and will allow you do a clutch relearn. It’s a pain in the ass to get set up but once its working, it’s great.

Finally Fixed!

We got it fixed, clutch relearn via vcx nano/tech2win and a bad relay.

Now I can use my key Ignition again instead of my push button start.

One more question: Is there an “learn” or adjustment for the throttle? Ours seems like either idle or 1200 and above. There is no way to slowing depress the throttle to ramp up from 800 RPM to 1200 RPM. Makes cruising slowly difficult.

Answer: I’m 99% sure I saw throttle position sensor on the screen when he was going through the programs.

To actually answer your question, yes there is an “idle learn reset”.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Tech2Win 2006 Corvette Radio VIN Relearn

Here is a quick guide on how to do a relearn on your radio if it is got a theft lock.  This radio i acquired did not come like this.

This is the original radio on my old 2006 Corvette so i wanted a little upgrade on it.

When i installed it said theft lock. I did some research that dealer wants almost $200 to do it VIN relearn.

So I’m here to show you a cheaper alternative way by getting this.  I bought this vxdiag vcx nano gm usb interface off vxdiagshop.com. It comes with the software on a USB Drive that the seller provided.

Worked out really good paid it a little more than a hundred dollars for it and you can do a lot more of the things in GM vehicles up to 2013 (Tech2win software).

I’ll show you real quick how to get into the software so this is tech2win it’s going to ask you where you’re at. Select North America click on ok yes.

I’m hooked up to my car now. This is an emulator that’s exactly what a tech2 would be if you had a handheld version of it.

We will go to Diagnostics- year 2006 – Passenger car- Chevrolet

This product line is the 4th digit on your VIN so mine is Y.

Scroll down to Y, press OK

The theft lock is in the body control module you have to go to Body scroll down until you see

Then select Navigation systems – Module setup- Navigation radio- VIN Relearn

Tech2win gonna ask you if you want to do it and you begin clearing it

Like I said this is a perfect little tool that can do all other things that a tech2win can do, purge out a solenoid or bleed the brakes on some GM vehicles.
