QuestionI have a 97 camaro z28. no alarm remote. I accidentally
used the door key to lock instead of unlock driver door,
when i put the ignition key in the ignition the security
light on the dash came on, the led started to flash quickly
and the ignition would not engage, the horn started to
sound and the dash started to blink. when the system turns
off it is the same thing over again. I cannot start the car
now. how do i reset the alarm system so i can continue to
use the car. i normally do not use the power lock button
to lock the doors, if i do when i use the door key I can
still use the ignition key to start even if i am slow and
the alarm sounds. when the alarm sounds the key will turn
it off and the car will start, until now
AnswerOk then, from your desription and the
make/model/year of the car you have there,
it appears you've reset the VATS.
The car's security immobilizer
reader at the key switch
does not recognise the coded
chip in the ignition key any longer.
You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position &
wait at least 10 mins like that.
(Do not turn off the key switch before
10 minutes as elapsed!)
Once done, the key is re-programmed and
should allow the fuel injectors to work again.
The car would start now if corrected.
In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart, however if this does not work,
then you can simply tow it to any GM vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.
There is a permanent solution though.
Adding the PLJX Self learning Bypass module (69.95)
will bypass the PASSLOCK system in your vehicle
for good. See this at www.PASSLOCK2.com
Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!
