wire to the LH Front Window Motor. The
Motor is grounded through the BRN wire and
the DN contacts of the LN Front Window
Switch to 6309. The motor runs and the

similarly applied
with the RN Front Power Window Switch in
UP.
In DN, voltage is applied to each motor in the
opposite direction and the window goes down.

Systern Check.
1. Check the PWR ACC Circuit Breaker by
operating the Defogger.
2. Check the CTSY Fuse by operating the

replace the Lock Cylinder.
2. Check the VATS Fuse by visual inspection.
3. Check owner's ignition key using the 535628

3. A number from 1 to 15 will appear in the
window designating the electrical code of
the key.
4. Cut a new key having the electrical code
ed from the 535628 Interrogator.
5. Start the engine using the new key to insure
that the key is correct both mechanically
and electrically.
Key Replacement (No Spare Key Available)
1. If the Ignition Key is lost and there is no
spare key, determine the mechanical code
from the code on the Ignition Key Lock
CyE
inder. The code may also be det
the dealer invoice for the car, or from the
Chewolet Zone Office.
2. Cut anew key to this mechanical code. Use a
blank PASSKEY test key which has no
resistance pellet. This key will be used to
operate the Ignition Switch for the remain-
ing steps.
3. Remove the hush panel under the steering
column and disconnect
C281 (two-cavity
connector leading into the steering column).
4. Insert the male half of the connector into the
female
pigtail connector from the 535628
Interrogator.
5. Set the Key Code Selector on the
Hnter-
rogator (535628 or equivalent) to "1 ".
6. Attempt to start engine using the key made
in step 2.
r If engine starts, the Key Code Selector is set
to the correct electrical code. Cut a new key
having this electrical code. The new key will
be customer's replacement key.
If engine does not start, turn Ignition
Switch to OFF, then turn the Key Code
Selector to the next higher position. Wait
four minutes and attempt to start the engine
using the new electrical code. Use the 4-min-
ute Timer on the 535628 Interrogator to
indicate the 4-minute interval. Start the
Timer by depressing the "Start" rocker
switch. The red indicator
will turn off at the
end of a four minute interval.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Resistor senshg contacts are located in the
Ignition Key Lock Cylinder. These contact the
Key Resistor Pellet on the key when it is
inserted. When the lock is rotated, battery is
applied through the
CIH Fuse to the PASSKEY
Decoder Module. The Pellet resistance is then
colnpared against a fixed resistance in the Mod-
ule.
If the Key Pellet is the proper resistance, ter-
minal A3 is grounded, energizing the Starter
Enable Relay. At the
same time, a signal is
appfied at terminal A2 to enable the Electronic
Control Module
(ECM). When this signal is
received by the Electronic Control Module
(ECM), it allows fuel injector pulses to begin.
If the Key Resistor Pellet is the wrong
value,
the PASSKEY Decoder Module will shut down
tes. During this interval there
will be no output at terminals A3 or
A2.
If the Ignition Switch is turned on again dur-
ing this interval, the Timer will begin over
again and the PASSKEY Decoder Module
will
remain shut down for another 2 to 4 minutes.
The PASSKEY Decoder Module will continue
this process even if a key with the correct pellet
is used to turn the ignition back on. The Timer
is restarted by the ignition voltage at
t
A1 when Ignition Switch is turned to RUN.
Once the Timer has completed its
2 to 4 min-
ute cycle with the ignition off, the PASSKEY
Decoder Module and Timer are reset. A key
having the correct code can then be used to
start the engine.
The Security Indicator is controlled directly
by the PASSKEY Decoder Module. If there is a
PASSKEY Failure this indicator will be
grounded by the PASSKEY
Decoder Module
with the ignition in RUN,
BULB TEST or
START. When the Ignition Switch is first
placed in
RUN, BULB TEST or START the
Indicator lights for about 2 seconds as a bulb
check.
