What is,if any,way i can diy a quick fix on a starter disabled code for a 1999 cadilac deville.can the chip reader be bypassed?

If your key has the resistor pellet with the short wires on both sides of the shank, I can provide a bypass method. Basically, you make a small resistor of ohms equal to the key, cut the passlock wires at the bcm, and solder the resistor to the bcm side of the wires. I have done this many times.

98 deville displayed check fuel guage later the display read starting disabled what is the problem

most of the time when we see a starting disabled there is a problem with the pass key system, this system includes the key and the ignition cylinder lock assembly. you wil most likely have to replace the cylinder lock assembly to cure this problem.

On my org. steering colum the blue wire that runs frome the shaft of the colum onto the white sircet panel. so i replaced the whole colum and now starting disable. 98 deville. what should i do?

If you are using the key and switch that was in replacement column, the resistance of the key pellet for your car is wrong. Provided you connected everything up then the easiest way would be to take your old key (out of old part) and the key from your replacement column to a Cadillac dealer. They can read the resistance of your old key and cut you a new key with the proper resistor. That should start your car.

How do u fix a starting disable problem on a 1999 cadillac deville

The problem is either the key and or the ignition switch. The key has aresistor and the engine module reads this value when you start the car. If it is not the correct value the car will not start. MOST LIKELY THE WIRE(S) yhat come off the ignition lock cylinder are broke. This is a common failure. To correct a new ignition lock cylinder and key will be required to get the car to run

My 98' deville wont start whenever i put the key in the ignition all the gauges lite up but engine wont start. The l.e.d display tells me "starting disablledremove key...i have no idea what to do..

The resistor chip in the key may be damaged or the sensor in the ignition may be damaged. You can have the ignition replaced or disable the theft deterent by hard wiring in the proper resistors. Search the cadillac forums for details on how to do this.

Anti-theft system

Read your manual or take it to the dealer. It sounds like it needs reset.....if this is a factory anti theft system, only the installer may be able to help you.

I think its my starter or fuel pump, but not sure.

If your security light is on it may be your key that's preventing the car from starting. It's programmed with a code to prevent theft (Pass II theft deterrant system or something like that). So either the key is screwed up or the module that reads it is screwed up - either way it will disable your ignition.
