passlock security is a garbage system installed by GM for like 20 years. It constantly fails leaving cars stranded on the side of the road when they stall or stuck in the driveway or parkinglot when they wont start.. Many things can cause this. 1 or more of three things. The key chip is bad, the ignition cylinder that reads the key is bad, or the TDM (Theft Deterrant Module-computer that reads the info) is bad. All of which can shut down your vehicle. For more info, read my "profile" section on this site. Just click on my name. Way too much info to type everytime i come across this. This is my Expertise and ALL i am on here for. I can answer most any question on subject and help guide you in the correct direction.

The thing that causes the PASSLOCK to activate is the chip, if you will. If the chip is bad, ar is unrecognizable to the system, the PASSLOCK will activate. Take it to a dealer asap. You can bypass the passlock by accessing the ignition, and cutting the yellow wire of a small 3 piece wire set that's on top of the ignition. cut the yellow small wire from ign. switch in the column up by the switch. this is the passlock wire.
