Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  Tests for proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range.
  2. 4:  Tests for proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range.
  3. 5:  Tests for high resistance or an open in the 12V reference circuit.
  4. 7:  Tests for a short to voltage, a high resistance, or an open in the signal circuit.
  5. 8:  Tests for high resistance or an open in the ground circuit.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Momentarily rotate the ignition switch to CRANK, do not start the vehicle.
  3. Release the ignition switch to ON.
  4. With a scan tool, observe the Passlock(tm) Data Voltage in the Body Control Module Security Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Passlock Data Voltage is within the specified range?		 0.4-4.9 V Go to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS Go to Step 3 
3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the Passlock(tm) sensor.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. With a scan tool observe the Passlock(tm) Data Voltage in the Body Control Module Security Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Passlock(tm) Data Voltage is greater than the specified value?		 4.9 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 9 
4 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Connect a 3 amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor and the ground circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. With a scan tool observe the Passlock(tm) Data Voltage in the Body Control Module Security Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Passlock(tm) Data Voltage is less than the specified value?		 0.4 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 7 
5 
  1. Disconnect the fused jumper wire.
  2. Measure the voltage between the 12V reference circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor and the ground circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor.
Does the voltage measure less than the specified value?		 12.0 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 11 
6 Test the 12V reference circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor for a high resistance or an open. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 9 
7  Test the signal circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor for a short to voltage, a high resistance, or an open. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 8 
8  Test the ground circuit of the Passlock(tm) sensor for a high resistance or an open. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 9 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the BCM. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS and CONNECTOR REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
10
IMPORTANT: When replacing the BCM, refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) PROGRAMMING/RPO CONFIGURATION .
Replace the body control module. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT .Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 14  -
11 Inspect for poor connections at the Passlock(tm) sensor. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS and CONNECTOR REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
12 Replace the Passlock(tm) sensor in the electronic column lock module assembly. Refer to ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK MODULE - DISASSEMBLE - OFF VEHICLE and ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK MODULE - ASSEMBLE - OFF VEHICLE .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 13  -
13 Perform the Programming Theft Deterrent System Components  procedure.
Is the repair complete?		 - Go to Step 14  -
14
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition.
  3. Momentarily rotate the ignition switch to CRANK. Do not start the vehicle.
  4. Release the ignition switch to ON.
  5. Select the body control module display DTCs function on the scan tool.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 3  Go to Step 15 
15 Attempt to start the vehicle.
Does the engine start and run?		 - System OK Go to Step 3
