Sounds like there is an issue with the PASS key system that is preventing the car from starting based on your codes. There is a ton of information in the archives on repairing the system or defeating it. It is a coincidence that the issue occured after replacing the alternator.

The fact there is a "pass key shorted or open" code tells me there is something wrong with the bypass resistor that was installed. Check to make sure the leads are not broken or shorted together.

the passkey resistors are spot on no breaks in the conection if there was it would not crank the ohm on my key is .523 and the resistor i built is .520 i belive the pcm is fried

The PCM is a very durable unit. I would not automatically suspect the PCM....

we have tried anything and everything we know and have found on the net shy of replacing the ecm

Then replace the PCM - you have your mind made up on that. Let me ask you this: Is your mechanic with 22 years experience willing to take the risk if the PCM replacement doesn't solve the problem? In other words, will he pick up the cost of the PCM?

I dont think ecm first on this.

where did you install the resistor in the column under the dash? is there any broken wires under the dash. If you bypassed the ignition pellet system it is all about the resistor.

I also think if the pcm was at fault you would have other issues. I love the Deville and that is excellent miles

pc1631 theft deterent system

ip2750 pass key data com failure

ip2710 pass key open or shorted

rf 2560 rke message validation error

If I am not mistaken... any of those codes will prevent it from starting...

ALL of them point to a problem with the key.

thats what I am saying. does the passkey info even go to the ecm or does it go to the bcm?

the bzm from my understanding controls alot of the theft system but the pcm has part of in it as well so if i have understood what i have read and what what i have been told it takes both of them to work i will check the wires and ohms on the key and see where that gets me tomorrow

I sent a PM to caddypete regarding this thread where he had an IP2750 code and a no start condition. This appears to be a class 2 network problem, see caddypetes thread here

Let me ask, when you jumped this car, did you even for a brief second accidently reverse the jumper cables POS to NEG?

Have you tried to disconnect the battery and force a hard "reboot" of the system?

I can not see a spontaineous security failure like this occurring with a dead battery. I also would not replace the PCM

Do you have the 96 Factory Service Manual? I have one and it may make sense to look into the diagnostic trees for the codes you are getting.
