Reset anti theft on 2001 Chevy malibu

Asked by Trisha Oct 22, 2017 at 11:29 AM about the 2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recall on the igintion switch, changed it out. Car
wants to start but won't turn over.  Did all the anti
theft recommendations and yet still can not get it to
start. Also had to remove a viper anti-theft/auto start
because it started clicking (the viper box) and it also
kept trying to force the car to start without the keys.  
Any idea on how to get this car running again?

Perform the re-learning procedure Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start). Observe the SECURITY light, after approximately 10 minutes the light will turn OFF. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 10 seconds. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Sensor Data Code and/or password). http://www.diy-gm-security.com/
