You need to By-pass that system.. My Mom had that same thing.. There is a little "box" thingy down near gas pedal on fire wall. They have plug in gizmo that would do it for you. Will not be able to use chipped key.. Cause that is the deal. Your chipped key is not getting read by censor

No no no. Locate ignition wires under steering wheel. You know, so tired of typing this. Goggle security bypass on your search engine. Try adding key word resistor along with (car year, make, model). A couple ways to fo it but it's permanent. Best is under glove box, remove panel, disconnect middle wire clip from silver box. Find pin 6, top and bottom,it's labeled. Should be black and yellow. Cut these wires in 2. Wire 2 blacks to the 1 yellow going to clip. Crank your car. Add a 2.20 resistor and your light will go out on dash but not needed to crank. But will need black tape to prevent shorting out. Black is ground by the way for you car geniuses
