All gm vehicles from 97-2005 have a theft system called the passlock system. (how to deactivate system on chevy malibu) turn key on engine off, let it stay on for at least 10 minutes, then turn ignition off, take out key from ignition switch. after 1 minute start the car. you can also go to tubesound.com to disable system for good. --tubesound.com/passlocksystem. ( just type in the problem when page comes up ). have a good day!! vehicle will not start with system blinking. it thinks its being stolen.

    i HAD A 2001 Malibu that the anti theft would kick in if I started the car too quickly(not wait for the fuel pump to run), I found that if you turn the key to OFF wait a second or 2, then turn the key to run(NOT START), wait until the anti-theft light goes out(about 10 minutes), turn the key off then the car would then start normally.

My malkbu classic won't start. The guy at the grage says its a key sensor. I believe I had this replaced around 2 years ago. Did I miss a recall, or how do I get info regarding a recall?

call the chevy dealership, and ask them if there has been any recalls in the past for your malibu. good-day! or if no good response, ask for the chevy recall center!

2005 chevy malibu classic.... theft warning light coming on and not allowing car to start..... best solution?

Let the car sit undisturbed for 10 - 15 minutes, then try to start it. Check the owners manual if you have it. Sometimes, on various cars letting them sit awhile will allow the system to reset itself. On others sometimes rapidly turning the key from off to on, without turning to start 3 to 8 times within 10 seconds and then on the last turn to the on position leave it there until the horn chirps, at that point turn the key directly to start, or turn off first and turn to start. If all this fails, a GM dealer can reset the system.

a quick way to reset all computers in your vehicle is disconnect the possitive battery terminal for fifteen seconds then reconnect and then try starting your car if that doesnt work you might need replace the theft module

2005 Chevy Malibu Anti-theft system indicator light

I just had this to happen to me - here's what you do - when it will not crank - turn your key over to ACC and let it stay on here for 15 minutes, the THEFT SYSTEM light will stop flashing. Turn your key back to OFF then turn it over as normal when starting and it will start right back up! Found it out from an auto store! One lady paid over $700 and then found this out!!!
