Car Alarms: Keyless entry, gm passlock, gm service


Question
My boyfriend owns a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM and has been having problems starting his car. We took to a shop, where we were told the keyless entry keeps disabling itself, therefore the security system will not recognize the key, causing the car not to start. He has to put his key in the ignition in the ACCL position for about 10 minutes in order for the keyless entry to "reprogram" itself and then the car will start. This happens about once a week.
Is there anyway to fix this without having to get a whole new computer??? I know nothing about cars, but I would think there would be a way of disabling the security system or even just refiguring it somehow to prevent this from happening all the time.

Answer
Understood , & I feel your pain. Really I do!
I get this inquiry at least 10 times a day,
and of course I am ONLY THE MESSENGER here
so please blame the engineers at GM.

It is a flawed and irritating system yes.
The way around it is also posted in several places
on my sites as well. A permanent bypass is suggested.
And yes, as long as you can get the car started eventually,
you can then program the module, and bypass the passlock,
but not before.

The IB-IM-PLJX Bypass kit is going to be
needed to get around this safely. (www.PASSLOCK2.com)
It matches the resistance level in the key switch
and allows for the fuel rail to engage with any key
you choose to use. See details on the site.

I wish there was an easy way to magically get it to
work without it, but this is what we have available
short of paying GM a bunch of cash to reset
a system that will likely need it again, and again.
That's if you can locate a GM service dept.
in the next couple of years! :>(

I'd bypass it and go from there with an after market
alarm to pick up the slack. Then no GM passlock issues to
worry about down the line.

Any good technician can install this item in less then an hour.
Take it to a reputable stereo,car alarm/remote starter installer,
or we can guide you through it here once purchased.

I hope this helped some.
