CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The body control module (BCM) supplies power to the PassIock(TM) sensor on the Security Sensor Power line (12 v Reference).

When the Passlock(TM) sensor is powered and the ignition switch is rotated to the CRANK position, the hall effect security sensor will latch and provide a code to the BCM. The BCM will then compare this code to the code in the previous ignition cycle. If the latched value is the same as the last ignition cycle value, the test has passed. When the ignition switch is switched to the OFF position, the sensor is no longer powered and resets the sensor latch circuit.

In the next ignition cycle, the Passlock(TM) sensor waits for an ignition switch crank input and verifies the sensor code and compares the sensor code to the last stored valid code.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The ignition switch is in the ON position.
^ The BCM is unable to produce the 9 - 16 volts required for the Passlock(TM) sensor operation. This may be due to a module, a wiring, or a sensor problem.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The vehicle does not start if the fault occurs before you start the vehicle. The security telltale will be ON.
^ If the vehicle is running when the fault occurs, the BCM will be in the fail enable mode allowing the vehicle to start and to run. The security telltale will be ON.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The DTC will clear after an ignition cycle occurs without the fault recurring.
^ The BCM history code clears after 100 concurrent ignition cycles occur without the fault recurring.
^ Using a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ When replacing the Passlock(TM) sensor, all of the following components are included as a replacement part and must be replaced:
- The lock
- The sensor
- The filter
- The harness
^ Use a scan tool in order to inspect the Passlock(TM) data voltage and the Passlock(TM) code.
^ Inspect the Passlock(TM) sensor harness for an intermittent or a short to ground. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Verifies the existence of this current DTC.
3. Tests for a short to ground in the Passlock(TM) sensor or the pigtail harness.
4. Tests for a short to ground in the 12 v reference circuit.
