Keys, Doors, and Windows 25
The security light in the instrument cluster
comes on when there is a problem with
arming or disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
The system has one or more transmitters
matched to an immobilizer control unit in
your vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle. If the
transmitter is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter. Or, you
may try placing the transmitter in the front
cupholder. See“Starting the Vehicle with a Low Transmitter Battery”
underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation (Key
Access) 09or
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation (Keyless Access) 012.
If the engine does not start with the other
transmitter or when the transmitter is in the
front cupholder, the vehicle needs service.
See your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a new
transmitter programmed to the vehicle.
Do not leave the transmitter or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
