The security light coming on and not going away can indicate a problem with the vehicle's immobilizer system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from starting if an unauthorized key is used.
It's possible that the issue may not have been resolved by replacing the ECM and reprogramming it. It's recommended to take the vehicle to a professional mechanic or dealership to have it diagnosed and repaired. They may need to check the immobilizer system and the key fobs to ensure they are working properly. They may also need to check for any other issues that could be causing the security light to come on such as wiring problems or other sensors.

2011 Infinity qx56 wont start...replaced ecm will crank but wont start and security light stays on while its cranking...does the key fob need to be reprogrammed? Can I do it without towing it to a dealer?

As part of the security system is embedded in the engine management ECU (ECM) the ECU has to recognise the code sent from the immobiliser before it will switch on and perform its functions.

Sometimes when ordering a replacement ECU using the vin from the dealer it will arrive programmed with the correct code but this is unlikely with aftermarket replacements and consequently reprogramming of the system will be required.

Having it flashed mean to have it reprogrammed for which you will need access to a GM factory scan tool your best bet is to bring it to a facility with the capability to perform the task.

2005 rendezvous battery light came on do i need to replace it right away?

The battery light coming on means you have to check your charging system very soon, right away is good. It doesn't necessarily mean you need to replace your battery. Get both the battery and the alternator tested because the battery could be low if the alternator is not charging properly. Hope this helps.

I can't turn off the security light on the dash panel of my 98 trans am

This may need to go to the dealer as the ECM and the security system itself(factory installed) will have to be reprogrammed or even replaced components.
