The security light on a 2001 Grand Am GT may stay on after starting for several reasons, including a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-theft system or an issue with the key's transponder chip. If the system does not recognize the key, it may prevent the engine from starting properly, causing the security light to remain illuminated. Additionally, a fault in the wiring or the ignition system can trigger the light. It's advisable to check the owner's manual or consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.
how i can reset the security sistem for a Pontiac 2001 grand am
Sometimes my sons 2001 Grand Am does that. It has to do with the Security System. Turn the key to ACC the Security light will start blinking and will continue to do so for 10 minutes. At that time the Security Light will stay on. At that point you can start you car. This works for him Good Luck.
It is the body control module It always starts out sparadic then you will get a service engine soon light and a service light !!
To reset the security system on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am, first, ensure that the key is in the "ON" position without starting the engine. Then, leave the key in the "ON" position for about 10 minutes until the security light turns off. Afterward, turn the key to the "OFF" position and then back to "ON" again. This process may need to be repeated if the system does not reset on the first attempt.
i also have Pontiac grand am, mine is a 2001. The pass lock sensor sets off the security light which cuts off gas to the engine, which is a theft deturent. My problem was fixed when i got a new stereo and the one thing that was replaced was my chime module, so we think mine was a electrical problem. But get your pass lock sensor looked at because that is what controls the security light.
That is the check engine light.
check to see if your security light is on i had the same problem (they all do ) put your key in the "on " postition and leave it for 10 minutes until the security light flashes off and then start your engine.
this happens to me every time i wash the car...solution is to put the key in the on position and wait for 10 minutes. it will clear the path lock sensor and turn off the light.
