Just the relearn but it may require the 30 minute version of it.

That means you have another problem in the system somewhere that the ignition didn't resolve.

well I did not replace the ignition lock yet but there is a pass lock sensor on the housing part of the ignition lock alot of times they are either corroded or Just need to be replaced so i figure since I do not have a 5,000 tech 2 I would replace the ignition lock and pass lock sensor and see if that works since its a very common problem and that is why i asked do i need to clear any bcm codes or they clear them selves since i have to do a rearm procedure

I thought you had already done that. You can just disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or it will eventually clear itself. It won't interfere with the relearn.
