Cadillac Repair: 1999 cadillac deville, steering column lock, cadillac deville

Question
i tried to start my car and it just reads "starting disabled remove key" does this mean my starter is bad or is it my security system or what??

Answer
It is the security system.

Either one of these components are at fault:

ignition key.

steering column lock cylinder.

pass-key module.

You will need, If necessary, 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.
