Most times it is a chip fail in the key or a broken wire at the lock cylinder.

rather than by-passing the immobiliser why not get it fixed and protect your car from theft.

there is one wyre you can cut coming from the computer check itrenet taht will disable antitheft everything else will work properly that will let you no if it is the anti theft

If the engine will not crank over with the starter then have the battery and starter tested first and then go from there. If the theft system is the problem you will have a warning light on in the dash or a message on alerting you to the problem in the anti theft system.

These cars are equipped with an antitheft system that disables the starter if not working correctly or attempted theft. Turn your key forward 2 clicks until right before it would normally start, if you see a light in the dash that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT, go to this link for help.

to reset anti theft system--turn key on engine off, for about 10 minutes. after 10 minutes, turn key off, wait 15 seconds, then try to start car. from 97-2005 gms have a theft system called a passlock system. you can go to tubesound.com/passlocksystem. to disable system for good.

Some possible solutions that might help: 1. I'm not sure if this model comes with a Master Ignition key (which is usually a different colour fob or shape). If it does, then try starting the car with the Master key, it should override and reset the antitheft system and allow the car to start. 2. The Alarm keyfob (if it has one) battery may need replacing. 3. There may be an override key operated switch on the alarm itself or secreted away somewhere inside the car, which you can use to activate/deactivate the antitheft device? 4. You may have to key a code number onto a set of buttons on the dashboard to reset the Antitheft device? 5. Do you have the User Manual for the vehicle. There should be some explanation in there about what precautions to take when replacing the vehicle battery, and how to reset the anti theft device so that the engine can be started again
