System Differences - Passkey / Passkey II Systems

Basic operations of PASSkey(R) and PASSkey(R) II systems are very much alike; however there are some basic differences.



LOCKOUT TIMER

PASSKEY

^ Set to about two minutes after ignition key with incorrect pellet is used and ignition is cycled "OFF".

^ Further attempts to start engine will reset timer.

^ Security lamp is not lit while lockout timer is on.

PASSKEY II

^ Set to about three minutes as soon as ignition is turned "ON" with an incorrect pellet.

^ Further attempts to start engine will not reset timer until it has timed out.

^ Security lamp is lit while lockout timer is on.





SECURITY INDICATOR LAMP

PASSKEY

^ "ON" continuously if there is an open or short in the system and the decoder module is unprogrammed.

^ Stays "ON" continuously until the next ignition cycle once a new module has been successfully programmed.

^ Does not light at all if there is an open or short in the system and the decoder module is already programmed.

^ Lights only when ignition is "ON" during lockout.

^ Lights for about two seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is turned "ON" during normal system operation.

PASSKEY II

^ Flashes about once per second if there is an open or short in the system or the decoder module is unprogrammed.

^ Lights for five seconds and then goes out once a new module has been successfully programmed.

^ Flashes about once per second if there is an open or short in the system and the decoder module is already programmed.

^ Stays lit during lockout.

^ Lights for about five seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is turned to "ON" during normal system operation.




SYSTEM SELF DIAGNOSTICS

PASSKEY

^ None.

PASSKEY II

^ Monitors key input circuit while engine is running and lights the security lamp if a failure (open or short) is detected for more than one minute.



IGNITION POWER

PASSKEY

^ Has no dual purpose.

PASSKEY II

^ Ignition voltage powers decoder module if battery voltage is lost.
