Testing Procedure
- If the VTD Diagnostic System Check was performed, go to the next step. If not, go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK - ANTI-THEFT (DOMESTIC) under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
- If the Passlock™ sensor has just been replaced, go to the next step. If the Passlock™ sensor has not just been replaced, go to step 4.
- Turn the ignition switch to CRANK and the back to the ON position. In the CRANK position the Passlock™ module will receive an analog voltage code from the sensor. Turning the ignition switch to CRANK will reset DTC B3031 in a new module. If the operation is complete, go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK - ANTI-THEFT (DOMESTIC) under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
- Connect a scan tool. Read the Passlock™ system current diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Inspect for the following DTCs: DTC B2947, DTC B2948, DTC B 2957 and DTC B2958. If a condition is present in one of the following circuits, troubleshoot the appropriate DTC prior to diagnosing DTC B3031: CKT 812, CKT 1836 and CKT 1057. If one or more of the DTCs are set, go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS (DOMESTIC) . If one or more of the DTCs are not set, go to the next step.
- Replace the Passlock™ sensor in the electronic column lock module assembly on models with tilt wheels and standard wheels. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in STEERING COLUMNS - TRUCKS - EXCEPT TRACKER article. If the repairs are complete, go to step 7. If the repairs are not complete, go to the next step.
- Replace the Passlock™ module. See ANTI-THEFT MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If the repairs are complete, go to the next step.
- Reconnect all the previously disconnected connectors and the components. Turn the ignition switch ON. Connect the scan tool. Clear the DTCs. Perform one of the following Passlock™ reprogramming procedures:
- PASSLOCK™ Reprogramming Seed and Key. See PASSLOCK™ SEED & KEY under PROGRAMMING.
- PASSLOCK™ Reprogramming Auto Learn. See PASSLOCK™ AUTO LEARN under PROGRAMMING.
NOTE:
If the Passlock™ module learns an analog voltage code when the ignition switch is turned to the CRANK position, or a Passlock™ module is replaced and the ignition is turned to the ON position, DTC B3031 will be set until the module sees a CRANK switch position or until the Passlock™ sensor has latched.
