Question
I can put the key into the ignition, but it will not turn over at all. I was wondering if this had anything to do with the anti theft system. I locked my keys in the car the night before and broke into it , I was wondering how i can reset it

Answer
Ok, The PASSLOCK in this car has engaged.
It shut's down the fuel rail and needs to
be reset at GM.

You can attempt to put the key in the ignition,
turn it on to just before cranking and then leaving
it that way for 10 mins. After that,
some PASSLOCK systems will re learn the code
and allow for starting. But if not, the system
will either need to be seen by GM.

But if it DOES start after that, here's the fun part.

The happy coincidence with this bypass module, is that if you
simply ground the PLJX module input wire, it will keep
PASSLOCK disabled until un grounded, thus allowing the fuel
injection rail to go to normal function and stay that way.

This works 95% of the time for ALL GM vehicles, and disables the
PASSLOCK issue alltogether. Like it was NEVER there.

If however, the PASSLOCK system is not allowing start
of the engine, just cranking, I can't give you a guaranty
that it will work. But, as long as you can start the engine now,
even intermittently, long enough to program the bypass module
(at least running for 2 minutes), it should do the trick.

Please keep in mind that GM has NO interest in bypassing
your PASSLOCK since there's no money in it for them that way.
So they have customers constantly in the shop "fixing" this issue.
It's a neat little "restricted to US only" service job for GM,
since they are usually the only one who can reset/repair
or replace the PASSLOCK systems in they're cars and trucks.

It is the best/cheaper method if indeed it's a standard factory OEM
PASSLOCK system. GM's service dept. will charge between 260. & 700.
depending on how they will have to go about "FIXING" it.

If it's me, I'd try it.
