Circuit Description

The Security Indicator Inoperative check is designed to find out the reason the Security indicator is not illuminating. However, the Theft Deterrent System Diagnostic System Check must always be the starting point for all Passlock™ system troubleshooting.

The diagnostics in this table are designed to troubleshoot non DTC troubles. For example battery power, ignition 1 input, ground, and shorted or open SECURITY indicator circuit.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and the connectors.
    •  Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the numbers in the diagnostic table.

  1. This step determines if there is power available to the instrument cluster.

    2.

  2. This step tests for continuity in circuit 749.

    3.

  3. This step tests for a short to battery in circuit 749.

    4.

  4. This step tests for an open in circuit 651.

    5.

  5. This step verifies if the gauges fuse randomly opened.

    6.

  6. This step determines if there is a short to ground in the Passlock™ Module.

    7.

  7. This step tests for voltage at the battery side of the Security indicator.
