2001 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT Anti-Theft Systems - Sierra, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon & Yukon XL DESCRIPTION CONTENT THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) anti-theft system is designed to deter vehicle theft by pulsing horns and exterior lights when unauthorized vehicle entry or tampering is detected. The CTD system operates separately from Passlock(tm) system. System components include door jamb switches, liftgate jamb switches, shock sensor, exterior lights, SECURITY indicator light, horn relay, headlight control module and Body Control Module (BCM). PASSLOCK(TM) SYSTEM The Passlock(tm) system is designed to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless a mechanical key is used to correctly engage and rotate the Passlock(tm) lock cylinder. System components include ignition switch, Passlock(tm) lock cylinder, Passlock(tm) sensor, Passlock(tm) module and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM). OPERATION CONTENT THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM BCM controls CTD system operation. System has the following modes: z Off When ignition switch is in RUN position and doors are closed. SECURITY indicator light will stay off. z Idle When ignition switch is in RUN position and any door is open. SECURITY indicator light will stay off. z Disarmed When ignition switch is in LOCK position and doors are closed. SECURITY indicator light will stay off. z Ready To Arm WARNING: Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting ANY repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
When ignition switch is in LOCK position and any door is opened. SECURITY indicator light will flash. z Arm Initiated When ignition switch is in LOCK position, any door is opened and BCM detects a LOCK command from power door lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. SECURITY indicator light will stay on. z Arm Delay When vehicle is in arm initiated mode and all doors are closed, system will enter arm delay mode for 15 seconds. SECURITY indicator light will stay on. z Armed After 15 seconds in arm delay mode without any doors opening, CTD enters armed mode. BCM monitors inputs to determine whether to enter alarm or disarm mode. SECURITY indicator light will stay off. z Alarm If BCM receives an open door input, horns and lights will alternate on and off for two minutes, unless BCM receives an unlock command. If two minutes elapses, CTD system will return to armed mode. If PCM/VCM receives a valid Passlock(tm) ignition key rotation while in alarm mode, CTD system will return to off mode. z Remote Panic Alarm/Vehicle Locator When PANIC button on Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is pressed, horns and lights will alternate on and off for 30 seconds, unless PANIC button on RKE is pressed again. PASSLOCK(TM) SYSTEM When mechanical key turns Passlock(tm) lock cylinder, a Resistance Code (R-Code) is created by a rotating magnet turning past a stationary Hall Effect sensor. R-Code is sent to the Passlock(tm) module. The module determines validity of R-Code within a preset time window, then sends a coded password to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM), which then allows fuel injectors to operate normally. If Passlock(tm) module receives the incorrect R-Code, PCM/VCM will enter long tamper mode. During long tamper mode, fuel injectors are shut off for 10 minutes and SECURITY indicator light will flash. Vehicle may crank and temporarily start during long tamper mode, but will soon stall due to fuel shut-off. If coded password is not received or is incorrect by the time engine starts, PCM/VCM will enter lock-out mode. If a large magnet is placed near Passlock(tm) sensor or a tamper (wrong key) exists, PCM/VCM will enter lock-out mode. Lack of data from Passlock(tm) sensor to Passlock(tm) module will set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and illuminate SECURITY indicator light. COMPONENT LOCATIONS
COMPONENT LOCATIONS PROGRAMMING PASSLOCK(TM) SYSTEM AUTO LEARN 1. Clear all DTCs. Turn ignition off. Replace component(s) as necessary. 2. With transmission in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T), momentarily turn ignition switch to START position (engine will not start). Leave ignition switch in RUN position (engine off). If Passlock(tm) sensor was replaced, SECURITY indicator light will flash for 10 minutes. If Passlock(tm) module was replaced, SECURITY indicator light will flash for a few seconds, and then remain on for 10 minutes. If PCM/VCM was replaced with a new PCM/VCM, vehicle may start and procedure may not be needed. If replacement PCM/VCM was used even momentarily, SECURITY indicator light will flash for a few seconds, and then remain on for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, when light turns off, turn ignition switch to OFF position for 5 seconds. 3. Repeat step 2 twice more. Ignition switch must be turned to OFF position. Auto learn procedure will be completed during next start attempt. Clear all DTCs. If PCM/VCM was replaced, reprogram PCM/VCM. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. TROUBLE SHOOTING PRELIMINARY INSPECTION 1. Check all fuses. Ensure all connectors in system are mated correctly. Using a scan tool, check for engine performance-related DTCs. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. 2. Check for broken or partially broken wires. Check for correct installation of aftermarket electronic equipment. Ensure all grounds are clean and tight. CONTENT THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK 1. Close all vehicle doors. Turn ignition on. SECURITY indicator light should stay off. 2. Open driver's window. Turn ignition off. Remove key from ignition. Open driver's door. SECURITY indicator light should flash. 3. Press LOCK button on Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. SECURITY indicator light should stay on. Component Location Body Control Module Lower Left Side Of Instrument Panel, Under Steering Column Passlock(tm) Sensor Part Of Ignition Lock Cylinder Powertrain Control Module In Left Front Of Engine Compartment NOTE: This procedure allows relearning of Passlock(tm) module or PCM/VCM learned data code after replacement of Passlock(tm) module, Passlock(tm) sensor or PCM/VCM. DTC B3031 will set when entering programming mode.
4. Close all doors. SECURITY indicator light should turn off after 15 seconds. System is now armed. 5. Activate alarm by performing the following: z Reach in window and unlock door using power door lock switch. Open door. z Reach in window and unlock door using lock lever. Open door. The horn should sound and exterior lights should flash. If alarm does not operate, perform BCM diagnostic system check. See appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article. If horn does not operate as specified, diagnose and repair horn system as necessary. See appropriate STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article. If exterior lights do not operate as specified, diagnose and repair exterior light circuits as necessary. See EXTERIOR LIGHTS article. 6. Using key, unlock door. Alarm should disarm. If alarm does not disarm, see TEST 1: CTD SYSTEM DOES NOT DISARM WITH KEY LOCK under SYMPTOM TESTS. 7. Reset alarm. Activate alarm. Press UNLOCK button on RKE transmitter. Alarm should disarm. If alarm does not disarm, perform BCM diagnostic system check. See appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK 1. Connect scan tool. Turn ignition switch to RUN position, engine off. Attempt to communicate with BCM and Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). If scan tool communicates with BCM and IPC, go to next step. If scan tool does not communicate with BCM and IPC, diagnose and repair communication problem. See appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article. 2. Check BCM for DTCs. If no DTCs exist, go to next step. If DTCs exist, go to step 4 . 3. Momentarily turn ignition switch to START position, do not start engine. Release ignition switch to RUN position. With scan tool, observe Passlock(tm) code in BCM data list. If Passlock(tm) code indicates OPEN, see DTC B2958: PASSLOCK(tm) SENSOR DATA CIRCUIT HIGH under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If Passlock(tm) code does not indicate OPEN, see SYMPTOM INDEX table under SYMPTOM TESTS. CAUTION: Do not replace Passlock(tm) module unless there are no PCM/VCM DTCs and a current Passlock(tm) module DTC exists after system check and DTC test has been completed. Do not replace Passlock(tm) module based on history DTCs. CAUTION: Always remove Brown connector first and install Brown connector last on BCM. NOTE: System tests are written specifically for General Motor's Tech 2 scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.
