2004 Chevrolet Venture Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Near Sapwi Trails Community Park in Thousand Oaks, a guy flagged me down at the community center lot. He had a 2004 Venture that cranked, fired for two seconds, then died. Classic PK3 rejection. The Security telltale on the cluster was lit solid.
He told me another locksmith had already come out, cut a new B97-PHT transponder key, and charged him full price. The key turned fine but the immobilizer kept killing fuel. That locksmith told him the body control module was fried and left.
The BCM was not fried. I pulled it up through OBD with my IM608 and the module responded clean. What happened was simpler and more annoying: the first tech never finished GM's PK3 relearn. That procedure has a 10-minute wait timer built into each cycle. If you rush it or pull the key early, the BCM writes the transponder ID temporarily but never commits it to permanent memory. The car forgets the key as soon as you cycle power.
I used my B111 Lishi to verify the original blade cuts were accurate. They were. Then I cleared the old failed key data, ran a clean PK3 learn with the full 10-minute timer, and waited it out. Confirmed on the IM608 screen that the ID13 transponder was written permanently to the BCM.
He watched the engine idle past the two-second mark and just stood there like he was waiting for it to stall again. It didn't.

Reviews from customers who stayed home
“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”
“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”
