How much of a value can a PassLock system accept?
You can be within about 5% of the value, and it will be accepted by the passlock system as genuine. Once you have assembled the resistors so they represent the correct value, tightly wrap one end of the resistor through and around the exposed copper of the black wire.
Is there a way to bypass PassLock 2?
The easiest way to bypass the Passlock 2 system is to place a resistor between the passlock sensing wire and the ground reference wire. To find these wires, look for three wires that at some point are wrapped together, coming from the ignition barrel. Usually, they are orange/black, red/white, and black.
What’s the highest failure rate of PassLock systems?

Why did General Motors start the PassLock system?
Aug 1st, 2005 The PassLock system was designed to prevent vehicle theft by disabling fuel to the engine if attempts are made to start the vehicle without the correct bitted key. PASSLock increased the level of security while retaining the ease of service and costs offered by standard ignition lock systems.
What to do if your PassLock light does not turn on?
Insert the Key into the ignition switch and try to start the car. It should start, and then stall, with the “SECURITY” light flashing. (In rare cases, the car may keep running and the security light will not illuminate, but that only happens if you are very lucky.)
