PASS-Key’
I1
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
I1
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, 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
Oldsmobile retailer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
11.
