Sometime the little lock light come on while driving. Sometimes when I go to start my Torrent the safelock stays activated, lights, radio, power window still operate, it just does nothing to start. After a day or so, occasionally more it seems to reset and starts fine for awhile.
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
Thank you for your help. I can move forward from here.
I knew the car had passlock but maybe someone installed another security system, seen it many times.

Is Safelock the same as PASSKEY?
Testimonial: "it's the passlock system. I think I have what I need to move forward with it now. Thank you."
