In this article we will be looking at various factory-installed General Motors anti-theft systems. Outlined below are some of the common problems and solutions to those problems. Also included are the functional characteristics of each system, commonly referred to as VATS, Passkey, Passlock I, Passlock II, Passlock III (PK3), and Immobilizer. Symptoms and Solutions Passlock
  • Passlock system fault code B2960
  • Security light flashing
  • Engine starts and dies

If you find yourself stranded, your engine won't start, and the security light is flashing, wait ten minutes. The flashing light should go off or illuminate without flashing. When it does, turn the ignition off, wait twenty seconds, and then try to start the engine. If it starts and runs, you should be able to make it home. Please remember that this is only a temporary fix; the fault will happen again. The most common repair is to replace the ignition lock cylinder or Passlock sensor and perform a relearn procedure.

VATS
  • VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System)
  • Security light on steady
  • Engine won't crank—all other systems functioning normally

If you find yourself stranded and the engine won't crank over, turn the ignition off and wait four minutes. Then, try again. If the engine starts, you should be able to make it home. Please remember that this is only a temporary fix; the fault will happen again. The most common repair is to replace the ignition lock cylinder due to broken wires inside the steering column.
