Why does my G6 not start when I turn the key?

This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your G6 won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own. When the engine isn’t turning over at all, that’s a bit easier to diagnose than when it is cranking but not firing.

How does the ignition switch work on a GM car?

In this vintage, GM uses the ignition switch as a signaling device to tell the body control module the position of the lock cylinder. There’s one voltage when the key is in the lock position, another when it’s in the START, and a third when it’s in the RUN position. But the BCM should never see voltage when the key is in the ACC position.

How long do you leave ignition key on while programming?

Connect a battery charger to the battery to ensure power is available while programming. Both the BCM and PCM must be working and communicating with each other. Insert ignition key and turn to the “ON” position. Do not attempt to start the engine. Leave the key in the “ON” position for approximately 11 minutes.

Where does the GMLAN key go on a Pontiac G6?

The BCM sends a high speed GMLAN serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) that the key is in the start position. The ECM receives the message from the BCM, and also receives a serial data message from the transmission control module (TCM) containing the shift lever position.
