Is there a way to turn off the PassLock?

Is there a way to turn off the PassLock?

There is even a DIY plan for sale that they say can defeat the passlock; GM will not disable it. The only other way that I’ve read about is the “White/blue” method. 😉 Step One: Start the truck, leaving it in park, and running during this process. Step Two: Locate the plug pictured below, The plug is under the dash near the steering column.

How much of a value can a PassLock system accept?

You can be within about 5% of the value, and it will be accepted by the passlock system as genuine. Once you have assembled the resistors so they represent the correct value, tightly wrap one end of the resistor through and around the exposed copper of the black wire.

Why is the lid locked but the machine won’t turn on?

Lid is not locked but “lid locked” light is flashing. Machine won’t turn on. Answered! View the answer I have this problem too Is this a good question? @liner , Caroline, You did not state your model#. Sounds like it could be a faulty lid switch. Info from link below. – Lock striker that presses down on the lid switch may be out of alignment.

What do I need to turn off PassLock iFixit?

Cut the orange/black wire or the yellow wire, depending on what you have. Strip both ends of the wire, so you can reconnect them if needed. Next you must strip some of the insulation away from the black wire, exposing the copper inside.

How long do you leave the key in the ” on ” position?

Leave the key in the “ON” position for approximately 11 minutes. The security light will be steady on or flashing for the 11-minute period. Do not proceed to Step 2 until the security light turns off or stops flashing. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position for 30 seconds.

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.

When do you turn off the PassLock system?

The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or resistance on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. 12. Your all done, Solder all your new connections.

Is there a way to bypass PassLock 2?

The easiest way to bypass the Passlock 2 system is to place a resistor between the passlock sensing wire and the ground reference wire. To find these wires, look for three wires that at some point are wrapped together, coming from the ignition barrel. Usually, they are orange/black, red/white, and black.

How to relearn the PassLock sensor data code?

Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds . Repeat steps 1 through 4, 2 more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
