This car uses the VATS/PassKey system, which is turning the security light on when you try to start it.
One possibility is that the resistor in the key is damaged or dirty. If you have another key, try that. If the chip in the key wiggles or the contacts are dirty, that might be the problem.
If it's not the key, you might need some electrical work done on the security system to get it running again. If you're good with electrical work, you can get wiring diagrams (Haynes repair manuals include them) and try to do it yourself.
Most likely your VATS system has an issue and it is not recognising the key and since the light is staying on, that is more evedince thay this is going to be the issue. I am going to do some reading and see what we can do to by pass that if possible on your car.
There is a little trick that sometimes works and clears the system, we need to try this and see if it works before we go anywhere elso on this. What you have is a pass-lock security system found in mid to late ninety GM vehicles here what to do!!
turn your key off
turn on to the run position don't try to start!!
wait about ten minutes till the security light stops flashing
turn key off
now start the car
Let me know if this helps in your case and if not we can dig into the security system.
tle trick you can try, but I am not sure this will help, but it won't hurt either. You can manualy lock the doors...and then shut them ...open with the key then insert the key and try to start.
If these trick aren't helping I suspect either the BCM or the VATS system has failed and those will need replaced, are all other functions working on the car? Like lights and horn and all other electrical devices?
Hi, I was wondering if you had any luck yet with the suggestions i posted, let me know what i can do if your still having troubles.
Thanks, Dave
