Your ignition cylinder needs to synch up with the BCM (Body Control Module) so that they can communicate properly and have the security system operate properly.
I recommend you to hook up a battery charger or jumper cables to another car for this procedure. It takes 30 min of key ON time and MAY drain your battery to the point that the procedure fails.
Follow directions EXACTLY AS WRITTEN. Procedure will fail if you do not.
1) With the engine OFF, Turn Ignition to the ON position.
2) Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON, vehicle will not start. ****Leave the key in the ON position.*****
3) Observe the SECURITY telltale light. After approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF. WAIT until it turns OFF.
4) Turn the ignition to OFF and wait 5 seconds.
5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes.
DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY AT ANY TIME DURING THE PROCEDURE.
The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
6) The ignition must be in the OFF position before attempting to start the vehicle. If you have followed the above procedure, the ignition will be in the OFF position.
7) Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password.
If the procedure does not work the first time, try it a second time.

Get away from the dealership you are going to if they want to charge you $500 for doing a programming procedure that takes them 10 min with a handheld tool.
