SECURITY would appear in MSG Center. It would come on and off with no rhymm or reason. There's a connection for your power seats under each seat. Remove back bolts that secure seat to frame and simply tilt seat forward to get at it.There's a clip that secures this connection to metal body. I scraped off paint and squeezed clip so it had better ground connection. Drill a hole through clip and body and insert sheet metal screw if you want over-kill. SECURITY MSG went away. There could be a bunch of other causes that aren't so simple; so try this 1st.

SOURCE: Chevy Impala message center security

The security system (VATS/PassKey) is having problems, it's typical on those cars. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.

Trunk ajar light on in message center

Look for a contact switch in the trunk. Sometimes, when the trunk (or door for that matter) gets slammed, then button gets set deeper.
What's happening is door and trunk switches are "self adjusting", and a slam "Self adjusts" too far. It is hard to reset the switch without killing it. Just get another one if you find this to be your situation. Test the switch before you buy a replacment.

Icon stays on, it looks like a tire with an explation point in the center, is staying on. What does this mean.

Hi:

That warning light means you have an external light burnt out. To figure out which one, turn on your lights, and have someone walk around!

The security light is on in my 2001 chevy venture message center

Hi there,
Most commonly with these cars the security system will do this if the battery is "drained" while trying to start the car. ie: a low battery that is too weak to turn the engine over. Usualy the power options & accesories will not work if this is happening.
To fix it you will need to ensure the battery is charged, you then disconnect the battery negative cable for about 1 minute with the key out of the ignition. reconnect the battery cable & start the car normally. Everything should be back to normal.
Let me know if there is anything more you need for this concern.
Farrout!
