The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)

Passlock theft deterrent: starts then stalls / no-start with security lamp

A magnet in the ignition cylinder produces a unique voltage across a Hall effect sensor in the ignition housing; the BCM and lock cylinder enable starting.

If the voltage matches the stored value, the BCM signals the PCM to enable fuel.

How to tell

B2960P1631Security light

What to do

  1. A security lamp flashing after an attempted start means the fuel disable command is active.
  2. A scan tool parameter showing 'fuel system disabled' or similar indicates a Passlock issue.
  3. Monitor the Passlock Data Voltage for approximately one minute; the voltage value should not change by more than .02 volt.
  4. If the voltage does not change from 5 volts, check the ignition housing.
  5. The condition is the Security lamp illuminated on the instrument panel, engine stalls or no start, with DTC B2960 (Security System Sensor Data Incorrect but Valid) set; the correction is to inspect and repair the cause of DTC B2960.

Caution: Loss of Ignition 1 voltage to the BCM gives the same start-then-stall behaviour.

Outside the documents and the records

None of the four pages read is a record of the Yukon or Yukon XL. Two are a shop's records of the Hummer H3 (model year not given; not a vehicle of the Yukon's family), and two are Q&A threads on the Silverado (2001 and 2004). The 2001 Silverado thread holds only questions and advice, with no repair outcome reported.

  • Sky Auto writes, in two Hummer H3 records (2017 and 2024), that a vehicle whose engine sometimes would not start showed a Passlock (security) fault on the diagnostic computer and that the Passlock module was replaced. スカイオート(埼玉)スカイオート(埼玉)
  • In its two Hummer H3 records (2017 and 2024) Sky Auto explains that the Passlock module is in effect the ignition switch, and writes that the replacement starts by taking off the steering wheel and works inward from there. スカイオート(埼玉)スカイオート(埼玉)
  • In its two Hummer H3 records (2017 and 2024) Sky Auto writes that the engine would not start on the module swap alone and that the job was finished with programming after the swap (described as registering the Passlock in the 2017 record). The 2024 record adds that the engine was then confirmed to start. スカイオート(埼玉)スカイオート(埼玉)
  • The owner of the 2004 Silverado (4.3L) on 2CarPros writes that the engine started and died after about two seconds with the security lamp looking normal and no codes stored, that the cause was the Passlock sensor, and that it started after a 30-minute relearn (whether the sensor was replaced is not said). 2CarPros

The sentences above were written by FaultCrate from what shops' public pages and Q&A sites state as fact (none of the pages' wording is shown; a second reader checked each against its pages). A record of another vehicle says which vehicle. A Q&A thread is a question and advice, and may not say how the repair ended. The links below are places to look; the contents of pages not read were not checked.

Passages of the technical documents

  • A magnet in the ignition cylinder produces a unique voltage across a Hall effect sensor in the ignition housing; the BCM and lock cylinder enable starting.

    The GM VTD or Passlock system uses the body control module (BCM) and ignition lock cylinder to activate the start function. The ignition cylinder uses a magnet that produces a unique voltage value when rotated in the ignition housing across the Hall effect sensor.

  • If the voltage matches the stored value, the BCM signals the PCM to enable fuel.

    The BCM compares this voltage value to the value stored in the BCM. If the voltage values are the same, the BCM sends a signal to the powertrain control module to enable fuel.

    MOTOR Magazine 2006-04-01

  • If the values do not match, the engine briefly starts and then stalls.

    If the voltage values are not the same, the engine will briefly start, then stall.

    MOTOR Magazine 2006-04-01

  • A security lamp flashing after an attempted start means the fuel disable command is active.

    The quickest way is to look at the security indicator lamp on the instrument panel. If it’s flashing after an attempted start, the fuel disable command has been energized.
