Circuit Description

The security indicator is a hardwired lamp that receives power form the gauges fuse 4 through CKT 39.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The ignition switch is ON.
    • The EVO/Passlock module is unable to provide a complete path to ground for the security indicator due to a wiring fault or a defective EVO/Passlock module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The ignition switch is ON.
    • The security indicator is commanded ON.
    • The EVO/Passlock module connector terminal B2 voltage is greater than 2.9 volts.
    • The security indicator may be on when the ignition switch is OFF if CKT 749 is shorted to battery power.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The DTC will clear after an ignition cycle has occurred without the fault.
    • The EVO/Passlock module history codes will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles with no current codes active.
    • Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and the connectors.
    • Inspect the Passlock sensor harness for an intermittent or a short to battery. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections .
