The Passlock module supplies power to the Passlock sensor on CKT 812.
When the Passlock sensor is powered and the ignition switch is rotated to the crank position, the hall effect security sensor will latch holding an internal code value. The Passlock module will compare this code to the value that the Passlock module measured in the last ignition cycle. If the latched value is the same as the last ignition cycle value, the test has passed. When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the sensor is no longer powered and the sensor latch circuit resets.
In the next ignition cycle, the Passlock sensor waits for an ignition switch crank input. The Passlock sensor compares the ignition switch crank input to the last recognized code.
If the Passlock sensor power is shorted to ground, the sensor circuitry will not function and produce the required code.
• | The ignition switch is ON. |
• | The Passlock module is unable to produce the 9-16 volts required for the Passlock sensor operation. This may be due to a module, wiring, or sensor problem. |
• | The vehicle will not run if the fault occurs before the vehicle is started. The security telltale will be ON. |
• | If the vehicle is running when the fault occurs, the Passlock module will be in the fail enabled mode allowing the vehicle to start and run. The security telltale will be ON. |
• | The DTC will clear after an ignition cycle has occurred without the fault. |
• | Passlock module history codes will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles with no current codes active. |
• | Using a scan tool. |
• | When replacing the Passlock sensor, all sensor components lock, sensor, filter, and harness are included as a replacement part and must be replaced. |
• | Use the scan tool in order to inspect the Passlock data voltage and the Passlock code. |
• | Perform a visual check of the wiring and the connectors. |
• | Inspect the Passlock sensor harness for an intermittent or a short to battery. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . |
This step isolates the short to ground between the Passlock module and the harness.
This step isolates the short to ground between the Passlock sensor and the harness.
