If you have a pass key light "on" then in all probability it is a broken wire on the ignition lock cylinder.

Turn the ignition key on for 10 minutes and it will reset.
Are you talking about the Pass-Key system? because the only real way to bypass it is to put in a new ignition.
get a new key or break ignition with flathead screwdriver or try wiggling old ket around Appended Aug. 7th, 2010: Possible pass-lock failure. this is a switch that is part of the ignition switch, and must be replaced with the whole ignition switch.
The "halo" is the lighted ring around where the ignition key goes into the key cylinder for the ignition switch.The "halo" is the lighted ring around where the ignition key goes into the key cylinder for the ignition switch.
If the key will turn in the ignition cylinder, the only other fault the key can have is a missing or damaged resistor. The resistor is in the middle of the key and looks like a small black oval. The resistor has one of 16 specific values and is "read" by the Pass-key module. If you have a vehicle with 30K or more on the odometer that won't start, and everything else is good, (battery, starter etc…), the most likely problem is the two little wires that connect the Pass-key module to the ignition cylinder. These wires have to flex each time the cylinder is turned and eventually break at the ignition cylinder. The only reliable repair is to replace the ignition lock cylinder and key. New Ignition lock cylinders do not come with real ignition keys, only a temporary key to identify the cuts. If the cylinder is changed you have to purchase a new key separately to match the old key resistor and then cut to match the new lock cylinder.
your key for ignition is made for that specific computer in your car,i had to replace my whole steering column,the salvage yard told me the key coming with it would work..it didnt it kept telling me to clean the key,so i had to pop out the old ignition outa the old steering column and it started first time!
The ignition switch. Where the key goes in is the key tumbler.
it is either the key is worn out or the key cylinder in the ignition is worn out.

No a diode will not work when the ignition key is off.
