The scan tool readings of the Passlock™ system assist
in diagnosing a problem.
The typical scan tool data definitions represent general information
displayed on the scan tool regarding the following information:
• | Passlock™ system functions |
• | Basic Passlock™ operating conditions |
The following data messages and the menu headings are displayed on the
scan tool:
Module Information
Security Calibration Number - Displays: 16XXXXXX: This information refers to the security calibration part number
in the body control module (BCM).
Security Suffix - Range: AA-ZZ: This information refers to the security calibration identification
number in the BCM.
Module Part Number - Range: 16XXXXXX: This information refers to the part number assigned to the BCM
currently in the vehicle.
Manufacturers Enable Counter - Range: 0-255: This information refers to the actual value for the Manufacturer's
Enable Counter (MEC) in the BCM. This information is for assembly plant use
only.
Data
Ignition 1 - Range: ACTIVE/INACTIVE: The BCM uses this data in order to determine the position of the
ignition switch. When the ignition switch is in the RUN or CRANK position,
ACTIVE is displayed. When the ignition switch is not in the RUN or CRANK
position, INACTIVE is displayed.
Ignition 3 - Range: ACTIVE/INACTIVE: The BCM uses this data in order to determine the position of the
ignition switch. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, ACTIVE is
displayed. When the switch is not in the RUN position, INACTIVE is displayed.
Battery Voltage - Range: 9.0-16.0 Volts: The voltage value displayed refers to the battery system voltage
measured by the BCM on CKT 1140.
Passlock™ Power - Range: ACTIVE/INACTIVE: The BCM supplies 12 volts and a ground for the Passlock™.
The Passlock™ power is active whenever the BCM is awake. After the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, the BCM may require up to 20 minutes
in order to power down. When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, a momentary loss of voltage may occur at the Passlock™
sensor. This occurrence is normal due to the BCM internal self test when
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
Passlock™ Data Voltage - Range: 0-5 Volts: The Passlock™ data voltage displayed indicates the return
voltage from the Passlock™ sensor to the BCM. The BCM also determines
if the voltage received is a valid voltage window or an invalid voltage
window. The BCM has 10 valid voltage windows, an OPEN voltage
window, a TAMPER voltage window, and a SHORTENED voltage window. The
value displayed on the scan tool will be within 0.0-5.0 volts.
The BCM converts this analog voltage to a class 2 serial data
password. The password is then sent to the PCM/VCM. The PCM/VCM must
receive the same password that was learned in the last learn procedure.
If the PCM/VCM does not receive a valid password from the BCM, the PCM/VCM
will not enable the fuel injection system. Refer to
PASSLOCK Reprogramming Seed and Key
(10 minutes),
or
PASSLOCK Reprogramming Auto Learn
(30 minutes).
Passlock™ State - Displays: IGNITION OFF/TAMPER/FAIL ENABLE/FAIL
ENABLE DEC/SEEDKEY LRN PEND/SEEDKEY LEARN/AUTO LEARN PEND/LEARN PASSLOCK/MONITOR
PASSLOCK/NORMAL DECISION/AUTO LEARN: The display refers to the state of the Passlock™ system.
Passlock™ Code - Range: OPEN/SHORTED/TAMPER/NUMERIC: The Passlock™ code displayed indicates the internal Passlock™
sensor resistance value. The BCM determines if the Passlock™ code received
is a valid Passlock™ code or an invalid Passlock™ code. The
BCM has 10 valid Passlock™ codes, an OPEN Passlock™
code, a TAMPER Passlock™ code, and a SHORTED Passlock™ code.
The scan tool will display any valid Passlock™ code as a numeric
value. The value displayed on the scan tool should be within 1-10
(i.e. valid code 7), SHORTED, TAMPER or OPEN.
Tamper Timer - Range: 0-600 Seconds: Use the tamper timer as part of the interactive procedure in order
to allow the BCM to display the time remaining when in the tamper mode. The
tamper timer starts when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position
and the BCM receives a Passlock™ data voltage that is different from
the last learned Passlock™ data voltage. The tamper timer has a lockout
timer of approximately 10 minutes. The vehicle must remain in the
tamper mode even if the ignition switch is turned from the RUN position
to the OFF position during the 10 minute period.
Auto Learn Timer - Range: 0-600 Seconds: Use the auto learn timer as part of the interactive procedure in
order to allow the BCM to learn valid Passlock™ data from the Passlock™
sensor. The learn procedure consists of 3 consecutive lockout
cycles of approximately 30 minutes. The auto learn timer does
not display the time in which the PCM/VCM is in the lockout mode.
Security Lamp State - Displays: ON/OFF/FLASHING: The security lamp will turn ON steady for 3 seconds and
then turn OFF when the ignition switch is turned from the OFF position to
the RUN position. The security telltale should have 3 states: OFF, ON
STEADY and FLASHING. If the IPC is unable to communicate with the BCM,
the security telltale will stay ON STEADY (after the bulb check). The
Passlock™ system will function while the IPC is not communicating,
as long as class 2 communication is possible. If the vehicle is
in the lockout cycle, the security telltale flashes momentarily and then
turns ON STEADY for approximately 10 minutes. The Passlock™
system requires 3 consecutive lockout cycles in order to complete the
30 minute Auto Learn procedure for a changed component, refer to
PASSLOCK Reprogramming Auto Learn
. A 10 minute Seed and Key learn procedure is also
available, refer to
