Probing Electrical Connectors

Important: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.

Frontprobe

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.

Notice: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.

When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Important: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the J 35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.

Important: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is J 35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.

Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing connectors:

Backprobe

Important:

• Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.

• Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack®) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector.

• Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe.

• After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact.

Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector.

Page 9: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter

Notice: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.

When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Important: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module (PCM), should only be tested with a 10 MΩ or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).

The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.

A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate even though voltage is present.

The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.

Important: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.

Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement.

Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:

• Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors.

Page 10: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

• Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses.

• If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp

Special Tools

J 35616-200 Test Light - Probe Kit

Notice: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.

When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate even though voltage is present.

The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads.

To properly operate this tool use the following procedures.

When testing for voltage:

1. Attach one lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should

be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.

When testing for ground:

1. Attach one lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should

be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested.

DTC U1000 and U1255

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least 1 critical parameter within about 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 to 16 volts.

• Diagnostic trouble codes U1300, U1301 and U1305 do not have a current status.

• The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

At least one critical operating parameter has not been associated with an identification number within about 5 seconds after beginning serial data communication.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.

• A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a Lost Communication DTC is set as a current DTC. When the modules stop communicating the current Lost Communication DTC is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so DTC U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only DTC U1000 or U1255 is set.

Page 33: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. A Lost Communication with XXX DTC with a history status may indicate the cause of U1000 or U1255.

2. The module which is not communicating is the likely cause of U1000 or U1255 being set. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit:

• Auxiliary Power Drop Connector

• BCM

• DIC

• DRR (U2K or U2L)

• EBCM

• IPC

• PCM

• Radio

• SDM

• OnStar (UE1)

5. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.

6. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.

7. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.

DTC U1001-U1254

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring (Node Alive messages). A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's "Node Alive" message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a "Node Alive" message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1xxx , where xxx is equal to the 3 digit identification number, is set.

The Control Module ID Number list provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with an internal class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle would have a Lost Communication DTC set by other modules. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for five seconds, a DTC U1xxx, where xxx is equal to the 3 digit identification number, is set.

Control Module ID Number PCM 016

EBCM 040

BCM 064

SDM 088

IPC 096

Radio 128

When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:

1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic tables. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 to 16 volts.

• Diagnostic trouble codes U1300, U1301 and U1305 do not have a current status.

• The vehicle power mode, ignition switch position, requires serial data communication to occur.

Page 37: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A message from a learned identification number has not been detected for the past 5 seconds.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.

• A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. A module which loses power during an ignition cycle will cause other modules to set Lost Communication DTCs.

2. A module which loses ground during an ignition cycle will cause other modules to set Lost Communication DTCs.

3. The malfunction is due to an open in the class 2 serial data circuit or an open in the module.

7. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.

9. The modules which can communicate indicate the module which cannot communicate. You must clear the DTCs from these modules to avoid future misdiagnosis.

DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set.

DTC Condition U1300 Low voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit.

U1301 High voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit.

U1305

Either high or low voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit.

Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. Connecting a scan tool to the DLC allows communication with the modules for diagnostic purposes. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be set due to this symptom and during this diagnostic procedure. Complete the diagnostic procedure in order to ensure all the DTCs are diagnosed and cleared from memory.

Diagnostic Aids

• The BCM detects that the ignition is ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to

the other modules. The BCM must be connected to the class 2 serial data circuit for many other modules to communicate with the scan tool.

• If the class 2 serial data circuit was shorted to ground, U1300 or U1305 will be set as history DTCs. Refer to DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 .

• If the class 2 serial data circuit was shorted to B+ U1301 or U1305 will be set as history DTCs. Refer to DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 .

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

2. A partial malfunction in the class 2 serial data circuit uses a different procedure from a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit:

• Auxiliary Power Drop Connector

• BCM

• DIC

• EBCM

• IPC

• PCM

• Radio

• OnStar (UE1)

• SDM

Page 44: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

3. The following DTC's may be retrieved with a history status, but are not the cause of the present condition:

• U1300

• U1301

• U1305

6. A State of Health DTC with a history status may be present along with a U1000 or U1255 having a current status. This indicates that the malfunction occurred when the ignition was ON.

7. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and the signal ground circuit respectively.

9. A poor connection at the DLC terminal of the star connector would cause this condition but will not set a DTC.

10. An open in the class 2 serial data circuit between the DLC and star connector will prevent the scan tool from communicating with the modules. This condition will not set a DTC.

12. If communication cannot be established the class 2 serial data circuit may be shorted to voltage or ground. The condition may be due to the wiring or due to a malfunction in the BCM. When testing wires for a short, make sure there are no modules connected to the wires being tested.

13. The BCM detects that the ignition is ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to the other modules. Therefore, the BCM must remain connected to the DLC for the other modules to communicate with the scan tool. This test isolates the PCM class 2 serial data circuit.

31. If there are no current DTCs that begin with a "U", the communication malfunction has been repaired.

32. The communication malfunction may have prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint.

Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the screws to the data link connector.

Tighten Tighten the data link connector screws to 2 N·m (18 lb in).

Data Link Communications Description and Operation

Data Link Connector (DLC)

The DLC is a standardized 16 way connector located below the instrument panel and close to the steering column. Both the connector design and location are dictated by industry wide agreement to follow SAE J1962 standards.

All DLCs are required to provide a power supply, hot at all times, to Pin 16. This circuit is used to power the scan tool. All DLCs provide a power ground at Pin 4 and a clean signal ground at Pin 5.

The class 2 serial data communications circuit is provided at Pin 2 of the DLC.

Class 2 Serial Data Link

The class 2 serial data link allows the following modules to communicate and share data with each other:

• Auxiliary Power Drop Connector

• Body Control Module (BCM)

• Digital Radio Receiver (U2K or U2L)

• Driver Information Center (DIC)

• Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)

• Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

• OnStar Module (UE1)

• Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

• Radio

• Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)

The class 2 serial data link allows a scan tool to communicate with the above modules for diagnostic and testing purposes.

1. Fog Lamps Inoperative 2. Fog Lamps Always ON

Circuit/System Description When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the headlamp switch is in either PARK or HEAD position, the fog lights illuminate whenever you press the fog lamp switch. The FOG RLY fuse in the top of the engine fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the fog lamp relay switch contacts and to the fog lamp relay coil circuit. The fog lamp relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). Whenever you press the fog lamp switch, the BCM fog lamp switch input is grounded. The BCM energizes the control circuit of the fog lamp relay coil. The current flows from the fog lamp relay to both front fog lamps and to ground G101. The fog lamps remain ON until you again press the front fog lamp switch, or until you cycle the ignition switch OFF and ON. The park lamps or low beam headlamps must be ON in order for the fog lamps to be illuminated. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned OFF or the high beam headlamps have been selected.

Circuit/System Testing Fog Lamp switch Input parameter does not toggle between active and inactive

1. Ignition ON, observe the Fog Lamp Switch Input parameter while turning the fog lamp switch ON and OFF. The reading should change between active and inactive.

2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal A and ground. ⇒ If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance or short to

voltage. 3. Connect a volt meter between the control circuit terminal D and the ground circuit terminal A. The

volt meter should display 5 volts. ⇒ If the voltmeter always displays 0 volts, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an

open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the body control module. 4. If all circuits test normal, replace the fog lamp switch.

Fog Lamp switch Input parameter does toggle between active and inactive

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fog lamps relay. 2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the coil side B+ circuit and ground.

⇒ If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the fog lamp relay.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the switch side B+ circuit and ground. ⇒ If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high

resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the fog lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to ground.

4. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate fog lamp. 5. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the fog lamp ground circuit terminal B and ground

⇒ If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. 6. Connect the harness connector at the fog lamp. 7. Connect a 10A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit and the fog lamp supply voltage circuit.

Verify the fog lamps illuminate. ⇒ If the fog lamps do not illuminate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the

circuit tests normal, replace the fog lamp bulbs. 8. Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit and the fog lamp relay control circuit. Command the

fog lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states. ⇒ If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests

normal, replace the body control module.

⇒ If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the body control module.

9. If all circuits test normal, replace the fog lamp relay. Repair Instructions • Fog Lamp Switch Replacement

Description and Operation

Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation Interior Lighting Systems Description and Operation

Page 342: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation

Exterior Lamps

The exterior lighting consist of the following lamps:

• The Headlamps

• The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

• The Fog Lamps

• The Park, Tail, Licence and Marker Lamps

• The Turn Signal Lamps

• The Stop Lamps

• Special Equipment Option (SEO) Lighting

• The Backup Lamps

Headlamps

You can use the headlamps in two different ways.

• Place the headlamp switch in the ON position for normal operation.

• Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position for automatic lamp control (ALC). During ALC the high beam headlamps are On at reduced intensity for daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, or low beam headlamps On in low light conditions.

The DRL/EXT LTS fuse and the EXT lamps fuse in the underhood junction block supply battery positive voltage at all times to both of low beam lamps and to the right high beam lamp. The low beam circuit continues to the high/low beam switch, then, depending on the position of the dimmer switch, connects to the normally-open headlamp relay switch contacts. Placing the headlamp switch in the HEAD position provides a ground path for the headlamp switch input of the Body Control Module (BCM). After receiving this input, the BCM energizes the headlamp relay. When the headlamp relay is energized, the low beam circuit is connected to ground G201. The high beam circuit is divided into a left and a right side circuit.

The DRL/EXT LTS fuse in the underhood ignition block supplies battery positive voltage to both the coil and to the normally-closed contact of the DRL relay switch circuit. During high beam operation, the left side current flow is through the closed contacts of the DRL relay, and to the left high beam lamp.

The EXT Lamps fuse in the top of the engine fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the right high beam lamp. Both high beam circuits are then connected together, and continue to the dimmer switch. When the driver closes the high beam contacts of the dimmer switch, the circuit is grounded at G201.

Page 343: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Both the headlight switch and the BCM provide a ground, or control circuit, to the headlight relay coil circuit for manual or automatic headlamp operation. When you place the headlamp switch in the OFF position, and the ambient light sensor indicates low light conditions, the BCM energizes the headlamp relay for low beam operation. You may switch the headlights to high beam by pulling the dimmer switch handle toward you until the dimmer switch is activated. When the dimmer switch is placed in the HIGH position, the indicator lamp input to the BCM is pulled low. The BCM then sends a class 2 message to the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the high beam indicator lamp.

If the headlamp switch is left in the head position, the inadvertent power control feature will turn off the headlights 10 minutes after you turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If you place the headlamp switch in the head position after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or if the ignition switch is in the ACCY position, the headlights will remain ON until you turn them OFF or until the battery runs dead.

FTP

With the headlamps in the low beam position, you may momentarily turn ON or flash the high beams using the dimmer switch handle. When you pull the headlamp dimmer switch handle toward you, the flash-to-pass (FTP) switch closes, grounding the high beam circuit at G201. Both high beams will remain ON until you release the switch handle. If the low beam headlamps were ON during an FTP operation, the headlamps will remain ON.

Lights On Warning

The radio activates the lights on warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating the chime frequency (fast rate) and duration (continuous).

• The ignition is OFF.

• The BCM determines that the driver's door is open (signal circuit is low).

• The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or head position.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

The ambient light sensor is a light-sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes in the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal, the BCM turns ON either the DRL lamps or the headlamp relay for auto headlamp operation. Any function or condition that turns ON the headlamps will cancel the DRL operation.

Page 344: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Thirty seconds after you start the ignition with the headlamp switch set in the OFF position, the DRL will perform one of two actions:

• Illuminate the high beam headlamps at a reduced intensity in daylight conditions

• Illuminate the low beam headlamps in low light conditions

Battery positive voltage is applied at all times from the DRL/EXT LTS fuse in the underhood junction block to the coil side of the DRL relay. When the ambient light sensor indicates a day light condition, the BCM applies a ground to the DRL relay control circuit. This energizes the DRL relay allowing a ground to be applied from G101 through the DRL relay switch side to the left high beam headlamp. When the DRL relay is energized, battery positive voltage is applied from the EXT LTS fuse through the right high beam headlamp, to the left high beam headlamp. The high beam headlamps are now in series, and split the voltage so that the headlamps illuminate a half intensity. The DRL operates when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, and the parking brake is not set or the transmission is not in park. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.

Fog Lamps

When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the headlamp switch is in either PARK or HEAD position, the fog lights illuminate whenever you press the fog lamp switch. The FOG RLY fuse in the top of the engine fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the fog lamp relay switch contacts and to the fog lamp relay coil circuit. The fog lamp relay coil is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). Whenever you press the fog lamp switch, the BCM fog lamp switch input is grounded. The BCM energizes the control circuit of the fog lamp relay coil. The current flows from the fog lamp relay to both front fog lamps and to ground G101. The fog lamps remain ON until you again press the front fog lamp switch, or until you cycle the ignition switch OFF and ON. The park lamps or low beam headlamps must be ON in order for the fog lamps to be illuminated. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned OFF or the high beam headlamps have been selected.

Park, Tail, Marker Lamps, and License

The park, tail and marker lamps, including the license lamps, turn on when the headlamp switch is placed in either the PARK or the HEAD position, or anytime the headlamps are requested. The RT I/P #1 fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and to the park lamp relay coil circuit. The park lamp relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, the BCM energizes the park lamp relay coil control circuit.

Current flows from the park lamp relay switch to both front and rear park lamp fuses and to their respective park/tail lamps. The front park lamps are grounded at G101. The rear park lamps are grounded at G302. The license plate lamps are a part of the rear park lamp circuit and are grounded at G302. The inadvertent power control feature prevents the park lamps from remaining on more than 10 minutes if left on. If the park lamps are turned on after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or is in the ACCY position, they will remain on until turned off or until the battery runs dead.

Page 345: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

A surveillance mode is available in Special Equipment Option (SEO) vehicles. The headlamps and park lamps may be disabled by using the emergency vehicle interior lamp switch.

Remote Keyless Entry Exterior Lamp Illumination

When the remote function actuation (RFA) module receives a door unlock command from the RFA transmitter, the RFA module will perform the following tasks:

• Ground the door unlock signal circuit to the body control module (BCM)

• Send a class 2 message to the BCM indicating that an UNLOCK command has been received

The BCM will then flash the park lamps twice. If the doors are closed when you use the RKE transmitter in order to lock the doors, the park lamps will flash twice. The park lamps will not flash if you use the RKE transmitter in order to open the rear compartment.

Turn Signal Lamps

The TURN SIGNAL fuse in the LH I/P fuse block supplies ignition positive voltage to the hazard and turn signal lamp flasher assembly. The HAZ SW fuse in the RH I/P accessory wiring junction block also supplies battery positive voltage to the hazard and turn signal lamp flasher assembly. The turn signal lamps may activate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCY position.

When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, current flows from the flasher module's output to the turn signal switch assembly. The flasher module then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or the right turn signals and their instrument cluster (IPC) indicator. When you press the hazard switch, all the turn signal lamps and both of the IPC turn signal indicators will flash. The hazard and turn signal lamp flasher assembly is grounded at G201. The front turn signals are grounded at G101 and the rear turn signals are grounded at G302.

Turn Signal On

The Radio activates the turn signal on audible warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating the chime frequency ( fast rate) and duration (2 seconds).

Page 346: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Stop Lamps

The BRAKE SW fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally-open stop lamp switch. When you press the brake pedal the switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the left and right stop lamp assemblies and to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The left and right stop lamp along with the CHMSL are grounded at G302.

Rear Window Panel Lamps (SEO, RPO 6J6)

The rear window panel lamp system on Special Equipment Option (SEO) vehicles, consists of two red lensed lamps that function as auxiliary turn signal and stop lamps. The wiring necessary for the additional emergency lamps on SEO vehicles consists of battery positive voltage supplies, circuit breakers, an emergency flasher, and relays. The lamps are mounted to the rear window panel.

Rear Compartment Lid Lamps (SEO, RPO T53)

The rear compartment lid lamps on Special Equipment Option (SEO) vehicles, consists of two red lensed lamps that function as an auxiliary flashing warning lamp. The wiring necessary for the additional emergency lamps on SEO vehicles consists of battery positive voltage supplies, circuit breakers, an emergency flasher, and relays. The lamps are mounted on the inner trunk lid. When you raise the lid a switch closes and the lamps alternately flash.

Spot Lamps and Front Lamps (SEO, RPO 9C1, 9C6, 7X6 and 7X7)

The spot lamp system on Special Equipment Option (SEO) vehicles consists of either one left spot lamp (RPO 7X6), or two left and right spot lamps (RPO 7X7). The spot lamps are mounted to either the left or right hand windshield pillars and contain their own ON/OFF switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the spot lamps through their own respective fuses. All other wiring is blunt-ended to be used on SEO vehicles as necessary.

Page 347: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Surveillance Mode Switch (SEO)

The Surveillance Mode Switch turns off the daytime running lamps (or low beam headlamps and tail lamps during nighttime hours), instrument cluster, PRNDL and radio indicators. Interior courtesy lights are also disabled when switch is activated.

Backup Lamps

The B/U LAMP fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the switch terminal of the backup lamps relay. The DIC/RKE fuse supplies battery positive voltage to the backup lamps relay coil terminal. When you place the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, the powertrain control module (PCM) sends a class 2 message to the body control module (BCM). When these conditions occur, the BCM energizes the reverse lamp relay control circuit, closing the switch contacts, the current flows from the reverse lamp relay switch to the backup lamps. The backup lamps are grounded at G302.

Battery Rundown Protection / Inadvertent Power

The body control module (BCM) controls the lighting system through circuits that enable the park lamps, head lamps and fog lamps as well as the interior lamps. The BCM opens these enabling circuits 20 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF with no subsequent lamp switch activity. If the ignition switch is turned to any position other than OFF, or if a lamp switch is activated, during this 20-minute period, the timer will reset for another 20 minutes.

LIGHTING SYSTEM INDICATOR(S)

HIGH BEAM

The IPC illuminates the high beam indicator when the body control module (BCM) detects that the high beams are requested. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.

HIGHBEAM OUT

The IPC illuminates the HIGHBEAM OUT indicator in the message center when the body control module (BCM) detects an open in one of the highbeam lamp circuits. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination. The HIGHBEAM OUT indicator illuminates for 60 seconds when the condition is present.

Turn Signals

The IPC illuminates the right or left turn signal indicator when the IPC detects a turn signal request or a hazard request. If the IPC determines that the turn signal is active for more than 1.2 km (0.75 mi), the IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.

Interior Lighting Systems Description and Operation

Interior Lamps

The interior lamps consists of two groups, lamps that can not be dimmed and lamps that can be dimmed. This first group consists of lamps that may not be dimmed. This Includes those lamps that may be manually turned on by placing the interior lamp switch to the DOME position, or by opening a door or a compartment:

• Auxiliary dome lamp (SEO, RPO 6C7)

• Dome lamp

• Inside rear view mirror lamps

• Instrument panel (I/P) compartment lamp

• I/P courtesy lamps

• Reading lamps

• Rear compartment courtesy lamp

• Sunshade vanity mirror lamps

Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to the DIC/RKE fuse and to the switched side of the BATT RUNDOWN PROTECTION relay in the right I/P junction block. The DIC/RKE fuse supplies battery positive voltage to the coil side of the BATT RUNDOWN PROTECTION relay. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, the body control module (BCM) provides a ground to the courtesy lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the BATT RUNDOWN PROTECTION relay and applies battery positive voltage to I/P BRP fuse and to the TRK/ROOF/BRP fuse. Battery positive voltage is applied from the I/P BRP fuse to the I/P courtesy lamps, I/P compartment lamp and to the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit to the BCM. Battery positive voltage is also applied from the TRK/ROOF/BRP fuse to the:

• Rear compartment courtesy lamp

• Dome lamp

• Inside rear view mirror lamps

• Roof rail/reading lamps assembly

• Sunshade vanity mirror lamps

If the BCM receives a door lock or unlock input signal, the BCM will activate the BATT RUNDOWN PROTECTION relay, which provides battery positive voltage to all interior courtesy lamps. When any door is opened, the door jam switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input signal. The BCM then applies a ground to the interior lamp control circuit and to the courtesy lamp low control circuit illuminating the courtesy and dome lamps.

After all the doors are closed, the courtesy lamps remain illuminated for approximately 40 seconds. The courtesy lamps will also turn on and remain illuminated for approximately 15 seconds after the ignition key is removed, prior to any door being opened.

Page 349: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

When the headlamp switch is placed in the DOME position, the BCM receives a ground signal. The BCM then applies a ground to the interior lamps control circuit. This illuminates the dome and roof rail lamps.

The courtesy lamps will normally turn off using the theater dimming feature. The BCM provides a pulse width modulated ground to all courtesy/reading, dome, and inside rear view mirror lamps for the theater dimming feature. The BCM will immediately turn off the courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all the doors closed, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.

The BCM activates the interior lighting output 15 seconds after receiving the class 2 message "Airbags Deployed" from the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The interior lamps remain activated for 25 minutes.

Auxiliary Dome Lamp (SEO, RPO 6C7)

An auxiliary dome lamp on special equipment option (SEO) vehicles is mounted to the headliner near the windshield. The auxiliary dome lamp is turned ON using a switch at its base.

Interior Lamps (SEO)

When the emergency vehicle interior lamp switch is turn to the OFF position, the interior lamps are deactivated immediately.

I/P Compartment Lamp

The I/P BRP provides battery positive voltage to the instrument panel compartment lamp. When the I/P compartment is opened, a switch closes, providing a ground circuit to G201, and the I/P compartment lamp illuminates.

Keyless Entry Interior Illumination

When the door key is used to unlock the doors, the BCM receives a door unlock signal. The BCM activates the interior lamps, provided the BCM has input signals indicating the following conditions:

• The ignition switch is OFF

• The courtesy lamp switch is OFF

• All the doors are closed

If the door locks are activated to the LOCK position, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position the courtesy lamps turn off immediately, otherwise the courtesy lamps will remain on for approximately 40 seconds after the door is closed. The BCM turns the courtesy lights off through the theater dimming feature.

If the remote function actuator transmitter is used to unlock the doors or the trunk, or if the panic button is pressed, the BCM will keep the courtesy lamps on for approximately 15 seconds. If the door locks are activated to the UNLOCK or LOCK position, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position, the courtesy lamps will turn off immediately.

Page 350: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

The BCM keeps the courtesy lamps on for approximately 40 seconds after an alarm event is completed.

The courtesy lamps in special equipment option (SEO) vehicles may be disabled by using the emergency vehicle interior lamp switch, called surveillance mode.

Rear Compartment Lamp

The TRK/ROOF fuse provides battery positive voltage to the rear compartment lamp. When the rear compartment is opened, the rear compartment lid ajar switch closes, providing a ground circuit to G302 and the rear compartment lamp illuminates.

Sunshade Vanity Lamps

The TRK/ROOF fuse provides battery positive voltage to each vanity mirror lamp. When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, a switch closes, providing a ground circuit to G302, and the vanity lamps illuminates.

Surveillance Mode Switch (SEO)

The surveillance mode switch turns off the daytime running lamps, or low beam headlamps and tail lamps during low light conditions, instrument cluster, Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low (PRNDL) and radio indicators. Interior courtesy lights are also disabled when the switch is activated.

Interior Lamps Dimming

The second group of interior lighting includes lamps which may be dimmed. This group uses a combination of class 2 controlled illumination and incandescent lamps:

• Ashtray lamp

• Door switches and window switches

• Fog lamp switch

• HVAC control head assembly

• Outside rear view mirror switches

• Radio

• Steering wheel controls

• Instrument panel cluster (IPC)

• Traction control switch

• Headlamp switch

• Hazard switch

• Heated seat switch

• The rear view mirror lamps

• Surveillance mode switch (SEO, 9C1/9C3)

Page 351: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

The RH instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the coil and normally open switch contacts of the park lamp relay. When the body control module (BCM) energizes the park lamp relay, current flows from the park lamp relay switched contacts through the REAR PARK LP fuse to the I/P dimming switch. When dimming is selected, by moving the I/P dimming switch, all incandescent back lighting lamps (see schematics) and the BCM are provided with a variable voltage through the instrument panel lamp supply voltage #1 circuit. The incandescent back lighting lamps are then grounded at G201, G203 and G302. The BCM then applies a message signal to the class 2 circuit to the IPC and radio. The class 2 displays then dim to the level set by the I/P dimmer switch. When the I/P dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all class 2 displays and all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness.

Parade mode may be selected by manually turning on the park lamps during daylight conditions. The front park lamp circuit supplies voltage the HVAC assembly for a park lamp on input, and the display will become full bright. The BCM applies a message signal to the class 2 circuit to the IPC and radio commanding the displays to become full bright. The surveillance mode switch (SEO) overrides this feature.

Battery Rundown Protection / Inadvertent Power

The body control module (BCM) controls the lighting system through circuits that enable the park lamps, head lamps and fog lamps as well as the interior lamps. The BCM opens these enabling circuits 20 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF with no subsequent lamp switch activity. If the ignition switch is turned to any position other than OFF, or if a lamp switch is activated, during this 20-minute period, the timer will reset for another 20 minutes.

Body Control System Description and Operation

BCM Functions

The Body Control Module (BCM) performs multiple body control functions. The BCM can control devices directly connected to its outputs based on input information obtained from two sources:

• sensors and switches that are directly connected to the BCM

• by receiving information from other vehicle systems connected to the class 2 serial data link.

The BCM evaluates this information and controls certain body control systems by commanding outputs on or off.

The BCM is also capable of controlling other vehicle systems that are not directly wired to the BCM. The BCM does this by sending specific messages on the class 2 serial data link. The vehicle system capable of performing a required function will respond to the BCM message.

The BCM controls these functions:

• Audible warnings, refer to Audible Warnings Description and Operation in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.

• Interior lighting, refer to Interior Lighting Systems Description and Operation in Lighting Systems.

• Automatic door locks, refer to Power Door Locks Description and Operation in Doors.

• Automatic headlamp control, refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation in Lighting Systems.

• Keyless entry (AUO option), refer to Keyless Entry System Description and Operation in Keyless Entry.

• Passlock theft deterrent, refer to Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Description and Operation in Theft Deterrent

• Content theft deterrent, refer to Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Description and Operation in Theft Deterrent

• Retained Accessory Power (RAP), refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Description and Operation in Retained Accessory Power.

Simple Power Mode Example

The power mode signal may be as simple as a B+ input wired to a particular ignition switch contact. If this is also the B+ supply to the module/device, the module/device will only operate with the ignition contact closed to B+. An example of this is the starter relay when it is wired directly to the CRANK/START contact of the ignition switch. When the CRANK/START contacts are closed, the starter relay is energized and provides a current source to the starter and starter solenoid. When the ignition switch leaves the CRANK/START position, the switch contacts open and the starter relay is de-energized. This removes the current source from the starter and solenoid and the starter operation stops.

Page 376: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Serial Data Power Mode

On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The BCM receives three signals/circuits from the ignition switch: Acc/Run/Crank (Ignition 0), Run/Crank (Ignition 1) and Acc/Run (Accessory).

To determine the correct power mode the BCM uses:

• the state of these signals/circuits, either switch closed (B+ = 1) or switch open (open = 0)

• the sequence of switch closures received by the BCM

• the status of the engine run flag

The chart below indicates the modes detected and transmitted by the BCM:

Power Mode Engine Run Flag Sampled Ignition Signal State

Selected/ Expected Serial Data Accessory Ignition 1 Ignition 0

OFF 0 0 0 0

RAP 0 0 0 1 to 0

ACCESSORY 0 1 0 1

RUN 0 1 1 1

CRANK 0 0 1 1

RUN 1 1 1 1

NOTE: Any ignition switch states not covered in this table indicates a DTC setting situation.

Fail-safe Operation

Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the BCM fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules using exclusively serial data control of power mode as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs.

Serial Data Messages

The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the BCM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running,

Page 377: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

Discrete Ignition Signals

Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, B+, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

Description and Operation

Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Description and Operation

Page 380: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Description and Operation

Passlock™ System

The theft deterrent system has been incorporated into the body control module (BCM). The theft deterrent system prevents the vehicle operation if the correct key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The ignition key turns the ignition lock cylinder. The cylinder rotation produces an analog voltage code in the Passlock™ sensor. This voltage code is received by the BCM. The BCM compares the voltage code to the previously learned voltage code. If the codes match, a class 2 message is sent from the BCM to the powertrain control module (PCM). The message enables the fuel injectors and the crank relay.

The design of the Passlock™ system is to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless the ignition lock cylinder rotates properly by engaging the correct ignition key. The system is similar in concept to the passkey system. However, the Passlock™ system eliminates the need for a key mounted resistor pellet. The components of the Passlock™ system are as follows:

• The ignition lock cylinder

• The ignition switch

• The Passlock™ sensor

• The body control module (BCM)

• The SECURITY indicator

• The powertrain control module (PCM)

Ignition Lock Cylinder and Housing

The Passlock™ sensor and ignition lock cylinder are one assembly. The Passlock™ sensor is separate from the key and lock cylinder. The key and the lock cylinder work together in order to determine if the proper ignition key was used to start the vehicle.

In the event of an open Class 2 serial data line between the BCM and the PCM, the vehicle will become fail-enabled if the PCM has already received the password from the BCM for that ignition cycle (the engine is running). In this event, the following conditions occur:

• The SECURITY indicator will be ON continuously.

• The PCM will become fail-enabled for future ignition cycles.

Page 381: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

If a failure in the Class 2 serial data line occurs before the ignition cycle, when the PCM is not fail-enabled, the following conditions occur:

• The PCM will never receive a valid password in order to enable the fuel injectors and crank relay.

• The vehicle will not start.

Ignition Switch

The electrical switching portion of the ignition lock cylinder assembly is separate from the key and lock cylinder. The electrical switch portion and the key and lock cylinder synchronize and work in conjunction through the action of the mechanical assembly between the two components.

Passlock™ Sensor

The Passlock™ sensor contains 2 hall effect sensors. The tamper hall effect sensor is on the top. The security hall effect sensor is under the tamper hall effect sensor. Both of the hall effect sensors monitor the magnet of the lock cylinder through an opening. The tamper hall effect sensor is physically placed on top of the security hall effect sensor. This arrangement enables the tamper hall effect sensor to engage first if an intruder attempts to bypass the Passlock™ sensor by placing a large magnet around that area of the steering column. There is a tamper resistor inside the Passlock™ sensor in order to help prevent tamper to the system. Passlock™ equipped vehicles have a selection of 10 different security resistors ranging from 0.5K ohms up to 13.6K ohms. Installing one of the security resistors inside the Passlock™ sensor will generate a unique Passlock™ code. All 10 combinations of the Passlock™ sensor have the same part number.

Body Control Module

The body control module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the Passlock™ data from the Passlock™ sensor. If the Passlock™ data is correct, the BCM will send a class 2 message to the PCM to enable the fuel injectors and crank relay.

During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the wrong Passlock™ data, the VTD system will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors and crank relay for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the VTD is in the tamper mode.

Page 382: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

If the Passlock™ sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON position, the BCM will send a fuel enable and crank relay enable signal to the PCM.

SECURITY Indicator

The SECURITY indicator appears on the message center inside the instrument cluster. If the SECURITY indicator flashes or if the SECURITY indicator lights continuously during vehicle operation, refer to the system diagnosis.

Powertrain Control Module

The PCM communicates with the BCM over the Class 2 serial data line. When the BCM determines an incorrect password, it sends a Class 2 serial data password to the PCM in order to disable the crank relay and fuel injection system. If the BCM receives the expected voltage from the Passlock™ sensor, the BCM sends a class 2 serial data password to the PCM in order to enable the crank relay and fuel injection system. The PCM then allows the vehicle to start normally.

Fuel Lockout Cycle

The Passlock™ system has a lockout cycle of approximately 10 minutes. Once the vehicle is in the lockout cycle, the vehicle remains in the lockout cycle for 10 minutes, even if the ignition switch is turned from the ON position to the OFF position.

The Passlock™ system uses the lockout cycle in order to synchronize all of the Passlock™ components when any Passlock™ related part is replaced. The Passlock™ system requires 3 consecutive lockout cycles in order to complete the 30 minute learn procedure for a changed component.

Changing the Passlock™ Components

Page 383: Model 821FJ Lighting System Trainer Service Manual Information 2003 Chevrolet Impala VIN W

The design of the Passlock™ system is to prevent theft even if the various theft deterrent parts change. The parts that can no longer be changed without the possibility of going into a tamper mode are:

• The Passlock™ sensor

• The BCM

• The PCM

If you replace any of these parts the vehicle may not start for 10 minutes. This is the long tamper mode. If this occurs, the system must go through a long tamper mode cycle. During this time the SECURITY indicator will be flashing for the full 10 minutes and DTC B3031 will be set. The BCM and the PCM require the full 10 minutes in order to complete a learn cycle. The ignition switch must remain in the ON position until the SECURITY indicator stops flashing. You will need to repeat the cycle if the ignition switch does not remain in the ON position. When replacing any of the above parts, perform the Programming Theft Deterrent System Components procedure.

The design of the Passlock™ system is to prevent the vehicle operation if the proper ignition key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The mechanical key, in normal operation, will turn the ignition lock cylinder. The Passlock™ sensor monitoring the position of the lock cylinder will relay the Passlock™ data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM will determine the validity of the Passlock™ data. The BCM will send a password to the powertrain control module (PCM). When the PCM receives the correct password the PCM allows the crank relay and fuel injectors to operate normally. The Passlock™ system requires the PCM and the BCM to communicate the various functions in order to operate. These functions transmit over the class 2 serial data line. For an explanation of the class 2 serial data description and operation refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation in Data Link Communications.
