Answer
OK, You have a fault within the PASS_KEY security system which is caused by either:

faulty ignition key.

Faulty ignition column lock cylinder.

PASS-KET MODULE.

Wiring fault.

If you are mechanicaly inclined or know of someone who is, You will need a DIGITAL MULTIMETER, Simple electrical schematics, Test procedures and picture locations of the components within the system that is causing you problems of which can't be done on this website which only allows one picture. I do not have a website so you will have to e-mail: onlineautohelp@msn.com in order to obtain the information.
