Turn the key to "on" and let it sit for approx 10 minutes until the 'security' light stops flashing. Turn to off and start as normal.
how do you reset change the oil light in a 2004 alero?
Smash the window
You don't. Just and fluid and it will go off.
More than likely you need to replace the ignition cylinder lock, which houses one of the passlock sensors. It is fairly common for this to fail.
according to my gm dealer it does not. The passlock system is in the ignition cylinder
== == The repair below is a theft password relearn procedure. It may get your car to start for a while, but does not repair the problem. The most common cause for this problem is the PASSLOCK ignition cylinder. It may need to be replace, then re-learned again.- TechJK -------------------------------------- Turn the key to the on position for about 30mins. After the first 10 minutes the security light starts to blink. Then it turns solid again after another 10 minutes. The last 10 minutes is to reset the passlock system (you can leave it on for longer to make sure you reset it). Now take the key out and try to start the car. I had to do this when my car was not starting; the fuel pump was off because of my passlock system.
wait 10 minutes for the passlock system to reset for a GM vehicle.
cut the yellow small wire from ign. switch in the column up by the switch. this is the passlock wire. but will it start iwas told that it wouldnt
GM vehicles do not use inertia/reset switches
Yes, it is part of a very complicated & VERY TROUBLESOME system known as passlock. If you google this system you will find it's a typical problem on this model,but, you can also find enough info there to diagnose & repair yourself.
Whenever you service the theft system you must do a relearn. Here is what you need to do. This is just a simple procedure that is going to reset the passlock system.Turn ON the ignition, withthe engineOFF.Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.The vehicle is now ready to relearn the PasslockTMSensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
Gm does not use inertia/reset switches.
