Pinpoint Test 3

Step 1:

Step 2 - 6:

NOTE: The PCM disables the engine for one second every time DTC B1601 is set. The ignition must remain in the run position for at least one second before an attempt is made to start the vehicle with any encoded ignition key. Check the PCM PID ANTI diagnostic for this unprogrammed key time-out status.

NOTE: Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the passive anti-theft system (PATS) ignition key may cause vehicle starting concerns and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be identified, examine the customer's key ring for such objects or devices. If present, inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a momentary problem if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the encoded ignition key used by the customer is an approved encoded ignition key.
