When the PASS-KeyW system senses
that someone is using the wrong key, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel
systems. For about three minutes,
the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to
the engine. If someone tries to start your
vehicle again or uses another
key during
this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different
resistor pellets
in an attempt to make a
match.
SECURITY
~
The ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted
in the ignition or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the
“SECURITY” light stays
on when you
try to start the vehicle, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security light
will remain on during this time. If the
starter still won’t work, and the key
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start,
the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Chevrolet dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-KeyaII.
If you accidentally use a key that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the security light
will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Chevrolet dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II to have
a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the
“SECURITY” light comes on and stays
on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key@II
system, however, is not working properly
and must be serviced by your Chevrolet
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the PASS-KeyW system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II
ignition key, see your Chevrolet
dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.
In an emergency, call the Chevrolet
Roadside Assistance Program on
1 -800-CHEV-USA (1 -800-243-8872).

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There are two fuse centers on your
vehicle. One is in the left side of your
instrument panel. The other
is in the engine compartment.
Open the cover on either of the boxes to
expose
the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse
with a new one of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you car
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it i
the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker. An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off,
or
in some cases to remain off. If this
happens, have your headlight wiring
checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power
windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
