It is tied into the pass-key system that disables your car as part of vehicle security. You would have to by pass the pass key system which would make it vulnerable to theft as any duplicate key or broken ignition could start the car. In my estimation if it ain;t broke don't fix it or you might wind up with an inoperable car. There is more than mechanics involved ...codes and software programmed into the bcm will disable the starter, pump and injectors.

SOURCE: engine codes p1518, p0125, and p0420 for 2001 firebird

P0125 sets when engine coolant temp does not reach temperature for closed loop operation within a set amount of time.
May be a faulty sensor or thermostat.
P0420 Is related to a faulty rear 02sensor.
P1518 PCM & TAC module communication detected missing or invalid serial data.
If TAC related repair has been done, clear DTC & recheck system. It may be necessary to preform clear codes function twice to clear this DTC.
make sure starting system & charging system are functioning properly. Low voltage can cause this DTC to set. This should help. Let me know how its going.

SOURCE: I have lost my keys to my 1991 pontiac firebird my

there is a way I've seen it done but never have done it myself. That "chip" is like a resistor for the anti theft system. When I asked the guy how he bypasses it, he stated, "I find the correct resistance needed, then add a resistor in line so that it bypasses the ignition switch." This way the orginal keys will work even if they don't have the "chip." Now the vechile he did that on he still had the key with the chip. The chip or ignition cylinder wasn't contacting each other so it would sometimes run and sometimes wouldn't. So I don't know if he tested the key or if there is a different way. I know this isn't much help but I KNOW it can be done.

99 pontiac firebird. the security light is constant on. turn key and nothing happens.

Nothing you can do here try the spare key and if this is the same then its a dealer only job or a auto locksmith to re-programme it for you ,if you only have one key then the chip may have dropped out of the key fob ,if you have a remote start alarm thing then this could be faulty as they often go wrong.Either way their is no way you can start the vehicle as the immobilisor is to prevent anyone from stealing the car by hot wiring it which some deliquents still think they can do and this is down to watching too many TV programmes it just doesnt happen on newer cars over the last 20 yrs

I have this problem with my 92 pontiac firebird, it will not turn over at all, the security system is malfunctioning is the usual cause. It is not the model just a malfunctioning security system.
