If you replace the ignition switch by itself no programming needed, but if you replace the key and tumblers then reprogramming is needed. If you replace the crank sensor you will need to clear the codes and run the drive time protocol for a minimum of twenty minutes with no check engine light coming on. If it comes on the protocol stops.
