Test Notes

Enter this pinpoint test only when directed here.


Continuous memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1260 indicates the anti-theft system has detected a break in the on-board security test due to an attempted theft or system hardware failure. When the PCM receives the message that a theft condition exists, fuel delivery to the engine is disabled on start-up. As a fail safe, fuel delivery is not disabled if the vehicle is operating and a system failure occurs. Use the proper key or remote or keyless entry to unlock the door; this will disarm the anti-theft system and enable fuel delivery to start the vehicle.
