Oldsmobile 1996 Aurora User Manual

PASS-hti
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
II system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and
fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter won’t
work and fuel won’t go to
the engine. If someone tries to
start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start.
This discourages someone
from randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets
in an attempt to make a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start. If
the engine does not start and the SECURITY light is
on or
you get the CLEAN KEY...WAIT 3 MINUTES
message on the DIC, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The SECURITY light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses
(see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index). If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty.
See your Aurora retailer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key
11.
