Passlock System

The Passlock (TM) System is designed to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless the Passlock (TM) Lock Cylinder is correctly engaged by a mechanical key. This system is similar in concept to the Passkey (R) System; however, Passlock (TM) eliminates the need for a key mounted resistor pellet. The components of this system are as follows:
Passlock (TM) Lock Cylinder, Ignition Switch, Body Function Controller (BFC) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
