Reset is 10 minutes key on, 30 seconds off. Try to start. Relearn is 3 times this. Do not try to start it, you will have to start over.

No, it can not be disabled.
The theft system is indicating a short term theft issue.
Have you added any "after market" remote start systems or alarms?
If NO.
Insert the key in the ignition, turn the key to run position ( do not start ) and leave it in that position for 10 minutes. Cycle the key to LOCK position, count to 10, then turn the key back to run position and leave on for 10 more minutes. After the 10 minutes is up, repeat the procedure (1) more time and the security system will relearn the PASS code.
Give it a try and let me know.

The security light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most
GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you
put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security
chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module).
These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending
signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second.
When the signal breaks, the car misinterperates this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode.
The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key.
This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. Remember too, the TDM controls the
security light. Sometimes you can have ALL the symptoms and no lights. This link explains it pretty well.

2006 Chevy Colorado i5 How to reset ABS, power loss, doors, faults.

Goodness, your keyboard is broken and needs replacing! No capitals, no spacing, all fixed :>)

ABS
https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Chevy+Colorado+i5+How+to+reset+ABS

All of your issues are well known and are due to battery voltage issues of a failing battery. Buy a new battery, charge it overnight. Clean the terminals and apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (it stops oxidization and is dielectric). Connect wires to the old battery or jump leads or the charger the battery clamps to maintain power during the swap over. Undo and lift off the clamps, clean them with a battery brush. Put Vaseline on them too. Lift the battery out of the tray and keep it close, making sure those wires don't drop off. Put the new battery in and tighten the clamps.

My truck will turn on a red lock and will not turn on at all, I have to wait acuple hours for it to turn on.

Welcome to PassLock 2 never-never land. I have had this problem also. 2006 Colorado. Explanation seems to be that a magnetically actuated switch in the Keyed Ignition Switch is slow to make, and the antitheft device (PassLock 2) locks everything down for 10 minutes (from owner's manual page 2-16).

Best solution for me to to SLOWLY and DELIBERATELY turn the Ignition switch from LOCK to ON, wait for 1/2 to 3/4 second, then turn the ignition switch to START.

This seems to work.Occasionally, it will still lock me out, but I can't say that I did the 1/2 to 3/4 second when it does.

As a general statement, this electrical system does behave as if it haunted.

2006 chevy colorado cranks over but wont start

2005 Colorado 4x4 stick shift – I had the same thing happen and it had to do with the passlock system – it will keep your truck from starting for approximately 10 minutes, yes you will have to wait and let it sit- if you try to start it will just turn over forever. On my truck the solution was to change my starting procedure, I now keep the truck in neutral-turn the key all the way for a few seconds and then push in the clutch- it starts every time. If you have an automatic I don’t know..

If the PassLock light is on, there's a fault code stored in the computer. The ONLY way to turn off the light is to get the code and fix the problem.
