🔧 PRO TIP
The 2002 Pontiac Montana runs GM's Passlock II system, not a traditional transponder chip in the key. The security sensor lives inside the lock cylinder itself, reading a resistor in the key hall-effect sensor module. The key blank is a B97-PHT, which is a standard mechanical cut with no embedded chip. When the Passlock trips, you get a "SECURITY" light on the dash and a 10-minute lockout loop. That lockout is the system resetting itself, not a dead key.

2002 Pontiac Montana Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from someone over near Santa Barbara City College. Their 2002 Pontiac Montana cranked for a second, died, and the SECURITY light came on and stayed solid. They tried again, same thing. Then again. By the fourth try they were just sitting there watching the light.

This is textbook Passlock II behavior. The sensor inside the ignition lock cylinder reads a resistor value when the key turns. If the value drifts or the sensor gets corroded, the BCM thinks someone is forcing the lock and kills the fuel injectors. The engine cranks fine because the starter is not part of the security loop. It just will not run.

I pulled up, cut a fresh B97-PHT blank to their lock code, and ran the relearn through the OBD-II port. On these older GM Passlock systems the relearn has a 10-minute wait cycle built in, sometimes three of them back to back, depending on the module state. So we stood there in the parking lot for a bit. They asked if it was broken. I told them the computer was just thinking it over.

Once the BCM accepted the new key value, the SECURITY light dropped off and the van fired right up. No tow, no waiting on a dealer parts counter, no leaving the Montana sitting for days. Done on the spot for a fraction of what the dealer quoted them.

“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”

Pontiac Montana Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to replace my 2002 Pontiac Montana key?
Call a mobile locksmith before the dealer. The Montana uses a B97-PHT mechanical key blank paired with GM's Passlock II system. The security is in the lock cylinder, not a chip in the key, which means the key itself is simpler and less expensive than a transponder or smart key. I cut it on site, run the Passlock relearn through OBD-II, and confirm the SECURITY light clears before I leave. No tow to a shop, no separate charges for parts and labor. The whole thing runs way less than the dealer quote you probably already got.
How much more does an all-keys-lost job cost versus adding a spare?
Do aftermarket keys work on the 2002 Pontiac Montana?
My SECURITY light flashes and the engine cranks but will not start. Is my key bad?
Can I just bypass the Passlock II system on my Montana?
