Pass 2 lock system

[BLLDOGG]

i put a resistor in my wiring to bypass the broken ignition lock cylinder (see other post). well, my teacher told me that hes not sure about the pass 3 system will lock everything up for good cause it can since a resistor. it has something to do with leaving the key in for days and it will lock things up. anyone know if this is a problem i might face?

This is the PassKey 2 system, not 3. Putting the resistor in is a very common thing, and I've never heard of anyone having problems with it. If the system senses a fault then it will default to "Fail Enable" mode, which means it will work as if it wasn't even there.

ok good, he wasnt too sure if it was a passkey 2 problem. but he said the new passkey 3 system will sense it and lock your car up for good. can someone say a new comp :D lol

he thinks that if you remove the resistor, that the lock out will open :shrug: not a problem for me [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just did some reading in the GM Service Manual. The newer cars have a system known as Passlock, which is different than PASS-Key. Passlock doesn't use a resistor in the key, and it works completely different. Looks like it would be a little harder to bypass.

ok, thats probably what he is thinking of :thumbsup:
