The passlock feature has NO USE what so ever. Its made to prevent theives from starting your car without the key.
Yesteday I broke the pins in my ignition switch by accident after forcing my key out after it became stuck. Now u can start it with anything in of a keyshape such as a screw driver.
Im a fan of General Motors, they have STRONG POWERFUL engines and nice bodyies. But their electronics are MENT to fail after a certain amount of clicks 258,xxxKM is where mine is. My temp guage stopped working, abs, parkbrake, engine check, and door open light is on.
My previous 93 civic was up in its 400,000km age, buring black smoke and all that, but still ran when i started it with no dash lights.
