== == 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.
When your security light comes on and your car will not start, turn you key to the on position and wait 10 minutes. The light will go off and you need to turn the key to the off position, then restart your car.
turn off engine, and start again
Just press the reset button at the fuse panel on the driver side. Press it for some seconds and it will clear the light.

You need an auto locksmith-it takes a specail interface with the cpu (car's comp) the dealer can do it but it is expensive. Look on craigs, select auto locksmith, services, find one that does security (chipped keys) and is mobile, make it clear pats is activated. For around 100.00 they can reset it in 5 minutes. The car won't go anywhere until it is.
