    2.

  2. Tests for an open in the passlock sensor signal circuit which may not set a DTC B2958 under certain conditions.

    3.

  3. The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.

    4.

  4. The presence of DTC P0601, P0602, P0604, or P0606 indicates an internal fault in the PCM.

  5. The presence of DTC B1000 indicates an internal module fault.

    6.
