How can I bypass the PassLock security system?
How can I bypass the PassLock security system?
When you bypass the passlock system you’re basically taking the lock cylinder case sensor out of the picture. You do this by inserting a resistor into the circuit that duplicates the voltage drop that would normally be caused by the lock cylinder case sensor.
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.
Where is the fault in the PassLock system?
Well, here are my thoughts. The fault in the PassLock system is almost always a bad sensor located in the lock cylinder case. When you insert the key and rotate the lock cylinder, a magnet passes by a sensor and the sensor sends a voltage to the body control module (BCM). The BCM has been programmed to expect a certain voltage.
Why did General Motors start the PassLock system?
Aug 1st, 2005 The PassLock system was designed to prevent vehicle theft by disabling fuel to the engine if attempts are made to start the vehicle without the correct bitted key. PASSLock increased the level of security while retaining the ease of service and costs offered by standard ignition lock systems.

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.
