Circuit Description

The Passlockā„¢ Module will read an analog voltage from the Passlockā„¢ Sensor. Based on an internal reference, the Passlockā„¢ Module will determine if the measured voltage is open, shorted to ground, a valid code, or a tamper code. In this case, the Passlockā„¢ Module is reading a tamper code.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    ā€¢ The Passlockā„¢ Module will inspect for a tamper code when the ignition is rotated from ON to crank.
    ā€¢ The Passlockā„¢ Module is reading a tamper code form the Passlockā„¢ Sensor for longer than 1.0 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    ā€¢ The vehicle will not run. The security telltale will be flashing.
    ā€¢ The Passlockā„¢ state is Tamper.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    ā€¢ The DTC will clear after an ignition cycle has occurred without the fault.
    ā€¢ Passlockā„¢ Module history codes will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles with no current codes active.
    ā€¢ Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    ā€¢ Prior to replacing a Passlockā„¢ Module, insure all the diagnostics have been completed, Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List/Type for troubleshooting priority.
    ā€¢ Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and the connectors.
    ā€¢ Inspect the Passlockā„¢ Sensor harness for an intermittent or poor connections (including the in-line connector). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
