WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Buick Regal and 2002 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
    • There is an intermittent open or short to ground on the PASS-Key® signal or ground circuit.
    • There are poor connections at the BCM or the ignition switch connector.
    • The ignition lock cylinder key contacts or the PASS-Key® resistor are dirty or loose.
  • If the key resistor pellet is incorrect, there will be no BCM outputs to the crank relay or to the PCM. This state will last about 3 minutes. If a key is inserted, or the ignition is turned ON again before the 3 minute time frame is complete, the timer will reset to 3 minutes. Disconnecting the battery will not clear the timer sequence, but the timer will reset to 3 minutes when the battery power is restored. Even if a proper key is inserted during one of the time periods, the vehicle will not start until the total time period has elapsed.
