Why do I get a p1626 code on my Astrovan?

Why do I get a p1626 code on my Astrovan?

A GM problem. When the PASSKEY MODULE goes bad, a 1626 code is hard and nothing other than a replacement module (not available) or a BYPASS MODULE is available. Then the problem is forever solved. Worked on my 1999 AstroVan and it starts everytime. My 99 tahoe starts and dies and I get this P1626 code. So how do I trouble shoot this problem?

What happens if DTC p1626 is lost?

DTC P1626 can cause a no-start condition or normal operation depending on when the loss of the fuel enable signal was detected. The engine will continue to start and run if the condition that set DTC P1626 occurred after the BCM sensed the proper key resistor pellet and signaled the PCM to continue fuel delivery.

What does the p1626 code on a Chevy mean?

P1626 Chevrolet Meaning. The Body Control Module (BCM) produces the theft deterrent fuel enable signal when the ignition is ON and the proper key resistor pellet is sensed.

What’s the difference between no start and no crank?

It’s important to know that a no crank and a no start condition are not the same thing since this article only concentrates on testing a no start condition. In layman’s terms, a No Start Condition means that your vehicle’s starter motor is cranking the engine but the engine is not starting.

What does DTC p1626 do to an engine?

DTC P1626 can cause a no-start condition or normal operation depending on when the loss of Theft Deterrent system communication was detected. The engine will continue to start and run if the condition that set DTC P1626 occurred after the PCM received a valid theft deterrent password from the BCM and already allowed fuel during the ignition cycle.

What does p1626 Chevrolet theft deterrent code mean?

P1626 Chevrolet Meaning. The Body Control Module (BCM) produces the theft deterrent fuel enable signal when the ignition is ON and the proper key resistor pellet is sensed. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel enable signal during crank.

Where can I find the error code p1626?

To diagnose this error code, you need to hook up a scanner and see if the key is being recognized by the PCM. This might be in the engine section of the scanner of the BCM. If the key is not there, the fuel will shut off, and the engine will start and die.
