Go on YouTube I have the same problem with my car is 4 easy steps of cutting off your theft light the third step works for me if you crank your car up and it doesn't turn over that means it's locked up and instead of going to the shop I looked up on YouTube and the video showed me what steps to do try it and help me
Hey, I had this same problem, and I took it to our local shop. It was the PCM relay and a fuse. The PCM relay and the fuse are both very easy to get to located in the engine compartment fuse box. The PCM relay costs ~$30 and the fuse was also very cheap. So, before you take your vehicle to the dealer, CHECK THE PCM RELAY! It could save a lot of money. Hope this helps. -JC
