REMOTE KEY INITIALIZATION For this type of key. The initialisation of the FZV keys is required to establish the Lock/Unlock signal synchronisation with the GM V. The initialization procedure provides the GM with a key identification number and a "rolling code" for each key. If the initialisation is not performed, the GM will not respond to the key signals. Up to 4 remote keys can be initialised. They must be initialised at the same time. Key initialisation is only possible with the vehicle unlocked. Procedure: 1. Close all doors and have all keys available. 2. Using key number 1, turn the ignition switch to KL R, then switch off within 5 seconds and remove the first key. 3. Within 30 seconds of turning the ignition switch to "off" Press and hold button #2 . 4. While holding button #2 , press and release ("tap") button #1 three times within 10 seconds. 5. Release both buttons. The LED in the key will flash momentarily. The GM will immediately lock and unlock the doors signalling a successful initialisation. 6. If additional keys need to be initialised repeat steps 3 - 5 within 30 seconds. 7. Switching the ignition to KL R completes the initialisation. SERVICE NOTE: The key memory function of the GM responds to the key identification number of each key. If the keys are not initialised in the same order prior to initialisation, the key memory functions activated by the keys will not be assigned correctly. Always initialise the keys in the same order.

don't know about the relay, it uses a resistor pack, two of them, one hidden the console and the other at the fan itself. There is a good you-tube video on the resistor pack replacement that is the console location. It's tricky, but it faily often.

Hi this will be a NO you cannot reset it, the crash alarm geber is a relay, my advice would be just to replace the relay as they are relatively cheap on ebay, you haven't explained why you think its the geber that needs a reset? what is actually wrong with your car

if you did the job mechanically yourself, then erasing the code needs done by someone with that type of equipment..usually the parts store or dealer..
