Common questions

Does PASSLock disable starter?

Does PASSLock disable starter?

The PASSLock system does not disable the starter; it only disables the fuel after the engine has started. If the vehicle will not crank, PASSLock cannot cause this condition.

What is the system fault code for PassLock security?

When the sensor defect starts, it usually presents itself as system fault code B2960. A red (or yellow) “security” warning light will stay illuminated and the engine will either a) never start or b) start for a moment and then shut down.

Is there a problem with the PassLock sensor?

The short answer is there’s a problem with the sensor. Some have suggested that the pins in the system are “tin” plated and subject to oxidization over time. Others say their system is possessed by the devil and in need of an exorcist.

Where is the resistor on a PassLock module?

Now you take the cut wire that leads toward the Passlock module (NOT toward the ignition barrel) and connect the other end of the resistor to this wire, being sure to tape it to protect against shorting. Once that is done, be sure to tape the exposed cut wire that leads to the ignition barrel.

How to replace the PassLock sensor on a GM car?

Find the three wires that connect the Passlock Sensor to the Body Control Module and substitute our circuit for the Passlock Sensor. Perform the “Relearn” Procedure so that our Body Control Module recognizes our new circuit. Go to Radio Shack and buy a Mini Terminal Block, and a package of 2200 ohm (2.2k-Ohm) resistors.

How to reset PassLock reset system on Chevy?

1. Turn the key to ON and attempt to start the engine and release the key to the ON position. 2. The SECURITY light will illuminate. Wait 10 minutes until it turns off. 3. Turn the key to OFF for 10 seconds. 4. Turn the key to ON and attempt to start the engine.
