VerifiedWelcome to JustAnswer, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm here to help get your problem resolved. Ask follow up questions, thanks. The passlock sensor/lock cylinder are usually the part that fails causing security system to act up...Here is relearn you need to dod: Bump key in start position for a second, leave in on position for 10 minutes or 11 max "Light should shut off but continue steps either way", off 5 seconds, on 10 minutes, off 5 seconds, on 10 minutes, then start..If that doesnt help you can try to replace lock cylinder/passlock sensor and reprogram again..If manual program doesnt work it will need to be programmed with scantool at dealer..They also sell passlock bypass kitsi on internet for around $100. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.
