Hi Paul,here's how to reset your system.

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON. The vehicle will not start.
  3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
  6. Start the engine.

SOURCE: how do you reset the anti theft system

Try disconnecting your battery cables then wait about 10 minutes. The computer should reset itself. Reconnect the wires to the battery. It is normal for the theft light to blink about every 5 seconds when the ignition key is out or in the off position. This means the system is armed and working properly. Hope this helps. God bless!

SOURCE: How to remove or bypass the factory installed anti theft vehicle immobilizer.

in the 1996 sunfire GM uses an anti theft lock system. It can be triggered by all sorts of things. In order to relinquish this you must have a key to turn the ignition. These are not coded just plain cut keys. Once you attain this you put the key in and turn the ignition to the ACC position and wait ten minutes (theft lock light will turn off), turn off and take key out. You MUST do this 3 times and then the theft lock will be disarmed.

97 sunfire tried turning key on 10 min than so on and ..... etc. this does not reset anti theft light flashes ,we do not have a key with a chip in it so what do you think ?? kelly

This 10 minute re-learn process only works if there is a small Hiccup or Glitch in the system. If that 10 minute trick did not work, it means that some part of that antitheft system is legitimately failing and would need to be fixed or bypassed. This link offers 2 different ways to bypass the system. Ive done both of these bypasses dozens of times, they both work and will not hurt the performance of your vehicle http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Changed out battery to new one now car will not start with key but can jump solinoid and start 97 sunfire 2.4l

Are you getting any anti theft lights? The sunfire is pretty similar to the cavalier, and I worked on a 96 that had a problem with the passlock system.

If you are not familiar, you can turn the key but nothing happens. There is a yellow "anti-theft" light that blinks on the gauges. There is a resistor in the ignition switch that sends a signal to the computer to tell the car to start.

Your problem sounds similar, and since you just changed the battery, you may have reset the system. To re-enable it you unfortunately have to go to the dealer. I searched EVERYWHERE and found no quick fix for it, and I took the cavalier to the dealer as well. Hope thats not your issue, but if so let me know I will try to help however I can.

Ok. my car 97 pontiac sunfire needed a new alternator output cable. guy put a new one on but apparently messed with something else and now its not starting. said the theft light came on and that it isnt...

Tell the guy to call the dealer and ask them how to override the anti theft system or reset it. when you disconnect the battery and lose power it kicks on the anti theft device and it won't get fire.
