I think we just kind of agreed to somewhat disagree on the battery issue. The GM upfitter engineering bulletin is written pertaining to Passlock disablement for Trucks and Vans. I just took these ideas and found the Passlock wires in my car. Here is what it says about a disconnected battery:
NOTICE
Any condition which removes battery power from the Vehicle Control Module/Powertrain
Control Module (VCM/PCM) (e.g. dead battery, disconnected harness connectors, etc.) will
prevent the vehicle from being restarted. If the engine exhibits a “cranks but will not
start” symptom, check to make sure that the modification switch is in the OFF (contacts closed) position.
That last little bit should probably read (as it pertains to us):If the engine exhibits a “cranks but will not start” symptom, place the modification switch in the OFF (contacts closed ) position.
So, some questions you will need to ask yourself, at least from my point of view are: How many times in the past has your battery died or have you disconnected your battery? I had to have my car towed way more times for passlock issues than for a dead battery or disconnect.
It is my hope that others like yourself will report back to this thread with successes or failures pertaining to this modification. (Months or even years from now!) Good luck and I'm sure you will make the right decision based on your particular situation and point of view.
