Why does my 2006 Pontiac Torrent T/C light randomly come on followed by some power loss and the control shaft lights go out (PRNDL1L4)?

When I restart the torrent, after it does what my title stated, the service engine light comes on along with PRNDL1L4 and the T/C light goes off. It runs a bit better, then after a few trips to town the service engine light goes off and runs like normal. Here are the codes that it has thrown (read from a autozone code checker): 0705 0700 0700 Pd MIL ON I noticed that the times it has done said malfunction, that I have been on a incline or just coming off of one. And when it occurs, it's always shortly after starting the car. My model doesn't I have the T/C button. THANKS!!!!

When that light comes on a fault code for the problem is stored in the engine control modules memory, have the system tested for the fault codes. Autozone and others do this test for free.

SOURCE: 2006 pontiac torrent shut down car will just crank, not start

The factory alarm is not to be tampered with as you can reset it but not disconnect it as it's part of the main fuel injection system. Do you have the right key? Just because it turns and cranks doesn't mean it has the right code. the security light off with the key on ut not cranking? If it stays on you do have a security problem. The system can be reset ( if the battery is good, and hot. Trun the key to crank and letgo the security light will but on or blinking . Leave the key on till the light goes out (around 15 minutes. Once it's out turn the key off then back on and the security light will be back on again. again wait till it goes out turn off then on again till the light goes out. Now turn the key off wait a few seconds trun it on and crank the engine. If it starts then it's reset. Sometimes I've had to do this more than three times to get it to reconize the key as the right one. rember a store cut key won't ever work as it doesnt have the (brain in it the the factory key does. Lets say your wrong, about the security system. The fuel pumps go bad like crazy and its thier season to fail. They fail quicker if you $5 the car alot. (runing on empty) Was the check engine light on as it ran the last time it was running? If so the codes need to be retieved and repaired. A scanner will find the security enabled on too.

SOURCE: engine light was on... said running lean ...no

I appreciate the feedback and am somewhat better informed when I take the Torrent into the shop tomorrow...obviously a bandaid over the pig shaped engine light wasn't cutting it! The light came on within 10 miles.

2006 Pontiac torrent pigtail connectors behind subwoofer and amplifier

Many wiring harnesses are premade to be used in a number of model packages. For instance your model may have a 'Tow Package' and this wires may be part of that, or the top model may have a backup camera, and it is the power to it. As long as everything works, just tape it up out of the way.

Safelock on 2006 Pontiac Torrent. Randomly prevents starting. Seems to reset after a day or so. Is there a way to disable

It is the passlock system not safelock An you can't just disable it . It is software program into the BCM - body control module an the PCM - powertrain control module .Simply disconnecting the wires from the ignition to the BCM will render your vehicle useless . If an when the security symbol light is on you need to have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . A GM dealer ,Chevy , Buick , Cadillac etc.... we know Pontiac is no longer around. Everything will work except the PCM will not let the fuel injectors work .
Passlock?"¢ System
The theft deterrent system has been incorporated into the body control module (BCM). The theft deterrent system is provided in order to prevent the vehicle operation if the correct key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The ignition key allows the lock cylinder to rotate. The cylinder rotation produces an analog voltage code in the Passlock?"¢ sensor. This voltage code is received by the BCM. The BCM compares the voltage code to the previously learned voltage code. If the codes match, a serial data message is sent from the BCM to the powertrain control module (PCM). The message enables the fuel injector operation.
The design of the Passlock?"¢ system is to prevent vehicle theft by disabling the engine unless the ignition lock cylinder rotates properly by engaging the correct ignition key. The system is similar in concept to the Passkey system. However, the Passlock?"¢ system eliminates the need for any key mounted components. The components of the Passlock?"¢ system are as follows:
?€¢
The ignition lock cylinder


?€¢
The ignition switch


?€¢
The Passlock?"¢ sensor


?€¢
The BCM


?€¢
The security indicator


?€¢
The PCM

I have a 2006 pontiac torrent at random times it will cut off while driving, they pulled the codes and they were u2300,u02001 can u narrow down what might be causing this . When it shuts down there's...

"U" codes are an indication that there is a problem with the "network"
U0201 is a loss of communication with the door control module "C"
U2300 is not showing in my list of trouble codes.

Sounds like a wiring/ground problem to me. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. I would suspect a wiring harness has issues at a plug end.
