TO OVERCOME THE PASSKEY SYSTEM WHEN REMOTE STARTING, a resistor of
identical value must be installed to deactivate the anti-theft system. Use relay diagram
below.
Locate the two pass key wires in the steering column. These wires may have insulating
jacket around them. These wires may also be located at the pass key module.
Below is listed the possible different wire colors:
A pair of Black or White 22 gauge wires
Purple/white and White/black wires
Yellow and Brown wires (older models)
Now insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and measure the resistance across the
two wires. Use a good quality multi-meter to get an accurate measurement. It may be
necessary to disconnect the wires to get an accurate measurement.
IGNITION WIRING: SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MOTORS PASS KEY SYSTEM
The diagram below shows how to bypass the PASSKEY for remote start and still maintain
the VATS integrity under normal use. If you wish bypass the PASSKEY completely, simple
cut both wires of the passkey and place resistor across both wires going to the decoder
module.

NOTE:
Always checks resistor value with a meter to verify its value before installing into
the vehicle. Extreme temperature (very hot or very cold) may also affect resistor value. It
may be necessary to use a 1-% tolerance resistor in some cases.
NOTE:
Replacement resistor value must be within 5% of key resistor- use a 1/2-watt
resistor.
