During normal operation, after turning on the ignition
switch, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will
turn on for three (3) seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is
a problem with the electronics.
In addition, if the light

someone used an invalid key to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being shut off
after two (2) seconds.

Corsa utility 1.4 failing to start and it is not giving a spark. it flashes the spanner light about 5 second after turning the key on please tell me what is the problem

Hello Sibusiso,

(From the 2009 Corsa Owners Manual)

Your Immobilizer system checks whether the engine is allowed to start with the key being used. If the transponder in the key is recognised, the engine can be started.

The electronic immobiliser activates itself automatically after the key has been removed from the ignition switch. If control indicator "spanner light" flashes when the ignition is on, there is a fault in the system; the engine cannot be started.

Switch off the ignition and then repeat the start attempt.
If the control indicator continues flashing, attempt to start the engine using the spare key and seek the assistance of a workshop.

See 2009 Owners Manual at the link below.

Resetting the passlock

1. First, insert the ignition key and turn the ignition switch to the "On" position (Do not start the engine). Leave the switch on for 11 minutes. The security light may flash or be on steady during this 11 minute period. Make sure the light is no longer on or flashing before proceeding to #2 .
2. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "On" position (as in step #1) for 11 minutes again.
4. Turn the ignition switch off for another 30 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "On" position for 11 minutes a third time.
6. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds one final time.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the "On" position one final time and wait 30 seconds.
8. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts and runs normally, the relearn is complete. If the engine does not start, Go to this link for info

Remove the trim panels in front of the center console. Locate the engine computer attached to a floor-mounted bracket on the transmission tunnel between the console and the firewall.

  • Turn the diagnostic mode selector, located in a round opening on the side of the engine computer, until it stops. Observe the small red and green LED lights on the side of the computer next to the mode selector. They will flash to indicate the modes, with a pause between each mode. One quick flash is mode one, two quick flashes is mode two and so on. When the light flashes indicate mode three, quickly turn the mode selector counterclockwise until it stops. You have entered mode three diagnostics.

    You need to test your Engine Control Unit (ECU) for fault codes.
    This could be caused by several things:
    - Coolant Temperature Sensor or circuit
    - Intake Air Temperature Sensor or circuit
    - A/C Signal circuit
    - Power Steering Pressure sensor or circuit.
    - Neutral Start Switch circuit
    - Throttle Position Sensor or circuit
    - Idle Control Valve or circuits
    - ECU

    You can check fault codes by placing a jumper between terminals E1 and TE1 in the check connector.
    (See pictures below) Turn the ignition switch on and count the flashes of the Check Engine light.

    If it flashes 2 times every second, this is normal (No codes present). If a fault code is present, the first group of flashes is the first digit in the 2-digit code. There will then be a 1.5 second delay and the second digit will be output. If there is more than 1 code present, there will be a 2.5 second delay, then the nexy code will begin tobe output.
    It is recommended that you read the codes (flashes) several times to make sure you are reading them correctly.

    If no lights on dash then the battery terminals are corroded high resistance, if you have light in the dash and still the eng doesnot turn then I would suspect the starter selonide. As for the system light you migh have to get it scanned look into History codes.

    How do i reset the oil light on a 03 saturn vue? i did the turn the key and press the gas peddle 3 times and that didn't work.

    The procedure you used is for the 2006 > Vue, and will not work on your 2003. For the 2002-2005 Saturn Vue V4 or V6 - Under the hood you will see a black fuse box behind the battery. Open it up and you will see a red button, it is small and looks like a fuse but on the top it will say Oil-Res. Turn on the ignition & press and hold that button for about 10 seconds. You may want to have a friend sit in the driver's seat and watch for the indicator to start flashing, which indicates you've activated the reset. Turn off the ignition and that will reset the Oil light.
