Passlock. Go to the dealer and have the passlock programmed. Usually happens after you replace an ignition switch.

2000 Malibu anti-theft light is on car will not start Put used ingnition switch.?

If its the same as my 2001 malibu, you turn the key to the on position leave it on for about 10 mins. When the security light goes off turn the key to off. You should then be able to start the engine normally. Its the worst system ever devised.


Why do your lights turn onbut your engine wont start?

Maybe you need to check the oil The oil light will stay on until the engine starts. If the oil light was on when it was running and now it will not start then you may have internal engine damage. Take it to a professional.

Why does my 2001 impala flash security and car not start?

This is usually caused by a faulty passlock sensor requiring replacement of the ignition lock cylinder. To test: Crank the engine momentarily (like you're trying to start it) then allow the key to return to the on/run position. Your check engine light should be on, and the radio should work, but turn the radio off if it's on, because you need to keep the battery charged. Wait fifteen to seventeen minutes, then shut the key off and remove it. Then wait fifteen seconds (or longer) and start the engine. If it starts, you need a new lock cylinder. With the engine still running, press the key straight in. If the car stalls, you need an ignition switch also.
