To reset the passlock system you need to do a relearn. This procedure takes 30 minutes to complete. You have to repeat the 10 minute portion three times to complete the relearn.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Momentarily rotate ignition to crank. (DO NOT START VEHICLE)
3. Wait for 10 minutes.
4. Observe SECURITY telltale changing from FLASHING or ON to OFF.
Important: If ignition is turned off before telltale changes state, entire relearn procedure must be restarted.
5. Turn ignition switch Off.

Perform this procedure three times.

Vehicle will start on the next ignition switch cycle.

The fuel injectors are INHIBITED by default when the car is in Security mode.
What is the status of the security light
  • Before you put the key in the ignition
  • While cranking
Is it solid lit, flashing, or off?

The resets do not always take the first time. Try several more times.

Be sure to follow the steps exact;y as stated. You are focused on the security light going out at the end of those 10 min periods. If it is not turning off, then you are not actually performing a relearn.
Hook up a battery charger or jumper cables to a running vehicle. The procedure also will not take if your battery V drops too low.

After the ten minutes did the light change? Either from on or flashing to off? That is when you move on to the next step.
