Hello, thank you for the question. It sounds like your anti-theft module has been tripped due to a circuit disruption or a faulty anti-theft module. Unfortunately, when an anti-theft module is tripped and the vehicle won't start, the only way to fix it is to reset the system using factory software or a high-end scan tool. You may be able to find a mobile mechanic/locksmith with the software who can come to you, but most likely you will have to get the vehicle to your local dealer. They usually charge about $80 to reset the system and a little more if you want/need keys reprogrammed. The locksmith or mechanic will also be able to tell if there is a fault in the module while attempting to reset the anti-theft system. Thanks!
