Pontiac grand prix anti theft

20

Asked by Blade Jan 10, 2018 at 12:32 PM about the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 04 grand prix wont start and says "starting
disabled due to theft system" seems right cuz i
bought it a couple days ago without a key and me
and the old owner just hotwired it to get it home.
But now its stuck. I replaced the ignition switch
and key. And its still stuck. An i tried the relearn
proceadure and it did nothing. I just want it to
work. Please help.

The car needs to be programmed to accept the new key. This is a different process than programming in one new key when you still have an existing master key. You have no keys at all, you'll have to take it to a dealer for programming.

You have an entirely new key, correct? So I don't think the relearn procedure will work. Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCMnhsRL1cQ

Keep in mind, the relearn procedure only works with the original programmed key, which I believe you stated you no longer have. You have an entirely new replacement key- with all original keys being lost, correct? So you can't just use the "relearn" procedure on just any key, otherwise car thieves would have no problem stealing cars. Since you have ZERO original keys, you need to have a new one programmed into the car. You can continue to try and bypass it, but it'll likely always be an intermittent problem.

Remember, its an anti-theft device you're working with. It's designed to prevent someone from starting the car without the keys since that person would typically be a thief. (Are you sure this car is not stolen?) If you know any thieves, they can possibly help you although as has been said you won't likely have a reliable car long term. If you want this to be legitimate reliable transportation for you and your family you will need to visit the dealership, and yes, it will be expensive.
