Powertrain Control Module
The PCM communicates with the
passlock module over the Class 2 serial data line. When the passlock module determines a no start condition, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the PCM in order to disable the fuel injection system. If the passlock module receives the expected voltage from the Passlock(TM) sensor, the passlock module sends a class 2 serial data password to the PCM in order to enable the fuel injection system. The PCM then allows the vehicle to start correctly. If the Class 2 serial data password from the passlock module to the PCM is not within the Vehicle Security Status Message, the fuel injectors will shut OFF during a start attempt. The SECURITY telltale will be illuminated for
10 minutes. If the PCM does not receive the same password from the passlock module as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.
