Passlock II passive anti-theft bypass
All GM trucks 1998 & up are equipped with PASSLOCK II security systems. In many ways it is like the PASSLOCK I
system found on the 96-97 Cavalier and Sunfire, but with a few small changes. There is no bulb test wire on the ignition
switch and the measurement for your resistor must be taken with the engine running.
1. Start the car with the key
2. Locate the 3 small wires (YELLOW, ORANGE/BLACK and RED/WHITE) coming from the ignition switch.
3. Separate the wires and cut the YELLOW wire in half.
4. Splice open the ORANGE/BLACK wire but do not cut it.
5. Use a digital ohm meter, attach 1 lead to the ORANGE/BLACK wire and the other lead to the Key side of the
   YELLOW wire.
6. Find a resistor of the same value +/- 10 ohms.
7. Wire 2 relays as shown
PLEASE NOTE: This is a fuel cut-off system. If the PASSLOCK II system is not properly bypassed the engine will
immediately shut down after remote start. If this occurs verify that all the wiring is properly connected and that your
resistor is within the allowable parameters.
