GM Antitheft/passlock 2

[bluto5]

Anyone have any experience with this stuff? The car is an 01 malibu

 

I am trying to sort out an issue for a friend..

 

 

 

I think I have come across a variant of this problem. I am posting in hopes that someone can solve this problem for me and save me the headaches but if not I will share whatever I am able to come up with.

 

The car is is an 01 malibu and has the symptoms of a faulty passlock.

 

The car was drivin out of gas(or nearly out of gas) and would not start afterward. I am thinking this is unrelated to the current issues. 5 gallons have been put in the car.

 

Fuel pressure has been verified by gauge at the rail.

 

Car starts and runs normally for 2 or so seconds and dies immediately.

 

The door locks are not operating properly, I was told that this just started but I didnt observe it personally.

 

I have tried the 10 minute reset thing a few times over.

 

I have also tried to bypass the passlock with a resistor(930 ohms measured 950 ohms used)

 

A few observations..

 

The theft light doesnt blink, its always on solid.

 

The dash lights hesitate for abit before coming on when the key is turned to the on position, about 5-10 seconds. i havent checked this against another car but it seems abnormal.

 

despite the 5 gallons put in the car the gauge still reads empty

 

I checked for codes with a cheapish autozone scanner, a cts code came up, was cleared and didnt return. The scanner didnt have any real time information modes unfortunatly

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I will post any updates.

 

Thanks, Sam
