Answer
Your fault is most likely in the pass-key system or theft system.

Check for computer codes via:

1. Ignition ON. Engine OFF.

2. Simultaneously push and hold the OFF and WARMER buttons on the climate control panel for 3 seconds and release them.

3. Diagnostic codes in the form of LETTERS/NUMBERS will appear with either HISTORY or CURRENT appaering along with each code.

4. Once all the codes stop, Let me know EXACTLY what displays in the EXACT order in which it displays as if you were video-taping it. If you can video-tape it, E-mail it to me at: onlineautohelp@msn.com
