Passlock TM System

The design of the passlock TM system is to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless the passlock TM lock cylinder rotates properly by engaging the correct ignition key. The system is similar in concept to the passkey system. However, the passlock TM eliminates the need for a key mounted resistor pellet. The components of the system are as follows:
^ The ignition lock cylinder
^ The ignition switch
^ The passlock TM sensor
^ The passlock TM module
^ The security indicator
^ The vehicle control module (VCM)
