Circuit Description

The Security Indicator Always On or Flashing check is designed to find out the reason the Security indicator is staying on or flashing. However, the Theft Deterrent System Diagnostic System Check must always be the starting point for all Passlock system troubleshooting.

The diagnostics in this table are designed to troubleshoot non DTC troubles. For example Battery power, Ignition 1 input, and shorted or open SECURITY indicator circuit.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Perform a visual check of the wiring and connectors.
    • Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the numbers in the diagnostic table.

  1. This step will determine if the Passlock module or the harness is causing the Security Indicator to stay on.

    2.

  2. This step determines if there is a short to ground in CKT 749.

  3. This step tests for an open in the class 2 line between Passlock terminal B4 and Splice S207.

    4.

  4. This step verifies if the security fuse randomly opened.

    5.

  5. This step tests for a short to ground in CKT 1740.

    6.

  6. This step tests for Ignition voltage at B3

    7.

  7. This step tests for battery input to the Passlock module.
