How do you test a passlock system?
Disconnect the electrical connector to the lock cylinder case sensor. Then using a digital multimeter set to DC volts, connect the red meter lead to the white wire pin in the supply connector and the black meter lead to the black wire pin. Turn the key to ON, but don’t start the engine. You should see 12-volts.
