how do i start my 97 grandam, anti theft device is not letting me?

Question

it is a factory installed device, and i cant start the car

Answer 1

You might have to lock the doors and then unlock the doors using the key. If this does not reset the security system you will need to have a shop that handles nothing but electrical repairs take a look at it. .

If it's just the ignition key (VATS system) the dealer can give you a new key but they will need the VIN number and will probably ask to see your registration and drivers license.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Your security is --PASSlock theft-deterrent system
Similar to PASS-key is the PASSlock theft-deterrent system. With PASSlock, when you turn the ignition lock, a sensor in the lock sends a resistance code to the on-board computer. If the code isn't correct, the computer shuts off the fuel to the vehicle's engine. PASSlock doesn't require a coded resistor pellet in the key. You need a new computer. I don't know if it is seperate from the main computer or not but it would be easy to fix yourself. I would try disconnecting the battery for a while to reset the computer first.
