If the security light is on and the Saturn won’t start but eventually does after 5 to 20 minutes, it may indicate an issue with the vehicle's anti-theft system. This could involve a faulty key, a malfunctioning ignition switch, or problems with the immobilizer system. It’s advisable to check the key for proper programming and inspect the ignition components. If the problem persists, consulting a mechanic or automotive technician is recommended for further diagnosis.

My 2002 Saturn L300 was doing this also, it was the BCM (Body Control Module). Cost about $600 to fix at the dealership
The security light on a Saturn SL2 typically indicates an issue with the vehicle's security system. It may turn on intermittently while driving due to a fault in the system, such as a problem with the key or ignition. It is recommended to have the car checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying problem.
Check the door hood and trunk switches. The security system is telling you that it will not set securely.

There are 3 different things that can cause the security lights to flash constantly on a 2002 Saturn Vue. These things are a bad passlock sensor in the ignition housing, a bad BCM, or a bad PCM.

To reset the security system on a Saturn Vue after changing the ignition cylinder, you typically need to perform the following steps: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. Leave it in this position for about 10 minutes until the security light turns off. After that, turn the key off, wait a few seconds, and then start the engine. If the security light remains on or the engine does not start, you may need to repeat the process or consult a professional for further assistance.
To reset the security system on a 2001 Saturn, first, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.

If the issue persists, consult the owner's manual or a professional for further assistance.
