Circuit Description

When an ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch, the terminals located in the steering column lock cylinder contact the resistor pellet in the key. The IPC measures the resistance of the key pellet and then compares the resistance to the one stored in the memory.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The IPC does not have a valid key pellet resistance in the memory, and a correct one is not learned within 2 seconds of power up.

DTC Will Clear When

The IPC learns a valid key pellet resistance and stores the resistance in memory.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The IPC displays the PROGRAM PASSKEY message on the driver message center.

Diagnostic Aids

    • If B2710 is also set current, diagnose that DTC first.
    • This DTC sets on replacement IPCs until the first valid key pellet is detected by the IPC.
