Sounds like a bad ignition switch have ur body control module checked for codes if u have a B2960 and or B3033 then replace the ignition switch.

SECURITY
If your vehicle has the remote keyless entry system, this feature allows you to select the method used to arm the vehicle's security system. When SECURITY appears on the display, press the reset button to scroll through the available settings:
* RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) (default): The content theft-deterrent system will arm when the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed or when the power door lock switch is pressed.

* PASSIVE: The content theft-deterrent system will arm itself 60 seconds after the ignition has been turned off and all of the doors have been closed.

How can I start my 2008 Pontiac G6 if my ignition is not in and the anti theft system is active

You can't. You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it. The anti-theft system is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do.

2008 pontiac g6 stuck in anti theft mode & only can jump start with new key

You do not have a problem with the anti-theft system , if the vehicle starts when you get a jump, you have a battery or charging system problem. It is not stuck in anti theft mode ??? Your best bet lady , take it to a qualified repair shop .

2003 Saturn Vue. How to disable or bypass theft deterrent security system to a 2003 Vue that quit running while I'm driving.

Question edited for fix all the typos and spelling.
Question moved to category.

No, you can't disable it, you have to fix the problem, not try and find a way around it.

There is help to reset, but you probably need an auto electrician or a local place that installs alarms and remote starters. The both have pro grade scan tool computers to diagnose the problem.

2005 chevy avalanche starts then dies

Be SURE to check your OBD2 Computer soon.. Doing so may save you hours of troubleshooting (and sometimes guessing). One 'fault code' could hold and point to your answer!

chevy-kk0z00osvjsgdntotsqbanow-5-0.jpg The good news is these Computer Readers are quite reasonable at about $20 on eBay. Pick on one that has a 1ft cord so you can read the display easily! Looking up the "Fault Codes" is quite easy using the Internet! Everyone should own one!...

How do you reset the anti-theft 1999 mountaineer

I dont think it's your anti theft. If you're having issues with it I would bypass it completely to eliminate that possibility allowing you to troubleshoot easier

My car quit while highway driving; now it wont restart. could this be an alternater problem?

The alternator only keeps the battery charged. So if the battery is dead, then yes the alternator could be at fault.
If the engine cranks but does not start, then the alternator is not involved.
And the anti-theft system would not kill the engine, only prevent it from starting.

1998 sunfire in codep1629, how do I fix it

You may want to do some research on the code. The basic problem is the anti-theft system is not seeing a crank signal and shutting down the fuel pump. It could be the security system, or the crank sensor, or other issues.
If you have auto start or a remote starting system it can cause these problems too.

99 chevy cavalier theft system light on steady, car wont crank.

My 2000 cavalier has done this for 6 months. You take your key out then open your door, wait ten minutes and the system resets itself and the car will start-annoying you bet!!!
