MY CAR WONT START BECAUSE OF A SECURITY LOCK, WHY?
3 Answers
Hello, There can be many causes for the security lock. It can be caused by having the system reset and not re-enabled (i.e. by a place like Jiffy Lube). Here is a good explanation of how the system works: http://www.thirdgen.org/vats_passkey_system You may need to contact the dealer to get the correct codes to restart the car, but hopefully, the link above should help.

My 97 z28 has that problem. I measured the resistor in the key and no made a new resistor. I had to be put it in a connector under the steering wheel. It fires right up but the car will not start without it. Haven't had a problem since.
