The security system shuts the whole car down so that it cant be stolen.
The light may turn on due to uncleanliness of the start key. For this reason, it must be cleaned.
More than likely it has a bad magnet in the ignition switch you need to replace the switch and then relearn the security system
The security system prevents unauthorized operation of the car, your system has been tripped, and the car disabled. You will need to reset the security system to start it. If you have the original key you should be able to do it.
It could be you're alarm if you have one. Or it might also be that the sensor for the alti-theft isn't working. I have a remote starter in my 1996 Monte Carlo and they had to by-pass the alti-theft and that is why mine is on.
Monte Carlo
With a key...
Dead or weak battery? Alternator not charging battery properly?
kind of had same problem but turned out to be something else but a guy who had a Monte Carlo pulled up to us and told us if our problem was the security light to turn on the ignition to the on position do not start car and leave for 10 minutes and then turn off and then try starting car and that should reset the security light he said it happened to him and that is what Chevy told him to do and it worked for him.
people start buying Chevy cars
The problem with the Monte Carlo is in the Security system itself I own a 2001 SS and it use to do the same thing. The security system does not recognize the key, when you use the key pad to enter the car. The only way I got it to work correctly was to Stop using my key FOB (remote). If you have the problem where your vehicle will not start, Get out, put the key in the door with it closed and turn the key to unlock for 10 seconds. It tells the car that the key was used to open the door not the key FOB. Monte Lover.
To reset the security light on an Oldsmobile vehicle, first the driver must turn the key to the "on" position, without starting the engine. Next, he or she should turn the key to attempt to start the engine, but not completely, so that it doesn't start before moving the key back to the "on" position. After about 12 minutes, the light will?æbe reset, and the key should be removed.?æ
