This video will show you how to do it. Don't worry about the VATSS parts, your 1988 doesn't have it, but the process is the same. You will need a couple of special tools.

SOURCE: How can I bypass a anti auto theft system on my 1990 cadillac seville?

I Have A Seville 1990, When That Happen To Me I Got The Inginion
Replaced Problem Solved. What Is Happening Is Your Key Has A Chip And That Chip Is A Resister And When The Valve Is Not Sented To The Computer It Disengages the Fuel Pump And Than Tells You To Wait. Soon All That Will Happen Is You Will Get The Wait 3 Mins And It Will Never Start, A Good Locksmith Can Take Care Of This For You And That Will Save You Some Money. Cause If You Go To The Dealer Ouch They Will Hit You Up. But I Asure This Is How It Will Happen Cause It Is How It Happen To Me
And Sorry There Is No By Passing The Computer

My 1990 Cadillac Seville says (starting disabled,anti-theft system. wait 3 minutes then start.)But still does not start.

You may have a failed ignition lock cylinder The wires that are attached to the lock cylinder are probably broke therefore the resistor value of the key pelet is not getting to the theft system module there fore without tha signal the car will not start. to repair the car will need a new lock cylinder and at least one new key

How do i remove an ignition out of a 1994 cadillac the key broke of inside of it

Just helped a person with the same problem.
You have to start by removing the positive post off your battery.
Then look carefully at your Steering Column. there should be 4 or 6 screws to remove it. Once removed, you should have access to your ignition. GM will sell you one with a new key

Cadillac seville won't start due to theft system

If you know how to solder, you can try building up the "chip" area on the key and reinserting it. That's the only thing that controls the PASSLOCK theft system.

Measure the resistance from one of the contacts to the other with an ohmmeter, and you can get those keys from eBay. Once you get the car home, order one for a couple bucks, and get it cut at your local hardware store.

When you order the new key, they will ask you for the resistance measurement across the resistor embedded in the key, and send you one that matches.

If you'd rather order one from the dealer, they are still available last I checked, but were significantly more expensive than the eBay option.

Cadillac seville won't start

I've got an even cheaper and easier solution, instead of buying a new cylinder, find that plug and snip the orange wires going to the old cylinder.Then remove the resistor chip from the key and solder each of the the wires to each side. this will fool the car into thinking the correct resistor chip is in place, allowing you to use the original key or any copies with or without resistor chips. i just did this to my caddy and it roared to life! :)
