My 2002 Grand Am will not start at all. The security light is not flashing, just on constantly. I have tried the Passlock relearning procedure and it only worked once. I can hear the fuel pump, so I don't think that's it. The car has 108k miles on it and was running great until it decided not to start at all.

Define "won't start". Won't crank? Cranks but won't fire up? Fires up then dies?

SOURCE: Security light flashing and not allowing start of car. Passlock problem.

It is your locks. I would just disconnect them and lock the car manually. Its a common problem on most GM cars cause water got in an rusted the auto lock motor cause them to send the wrong signal to the computer.

SOURCE: 2003 pontiac grand am 2.4 car won't start changed

Your problem is in the security system. That will disable the fuel system, so a theif cant steal your car. I'd bet you will need to change the key and sensor for the key, it's part of the ignition switch.

I discovered the hard way- ($85.00 later) Step 1: turn key to "on" position. step 2: open driver door. (security light should be flashing on and off) step 3: wait ten minutes with key in "on position and driver door open. step 4: when 10 minutes is up-(youll know-because security light will have stoped flashing after 10 minutes) close driver door ,turn key to "off" position, then turn key "on" to start. drives me crazy!! I have to do it to mine sometimes 2-5 times a day! GM doesnt have a fuel reset button etc. like fords do.

1997 grand am with passlock system...lost key and removed switch ...help with passlock?????

This an example of relearn procedure.
Clear all codes.
start the engine or try to.
The system long tamper mode and security lamp will flash for ten minutes
Leave the ignition switch in the run position until the lamp stops flashing.
Turn ignition switch to off, turn ignition switch back to the run position.
The theft system lamp will flash again as the system learns. When the lamp stops flashing, the learn cycle is complete. Some info says to use battery charger on low setting because this procedure can take a while. The passlock key is just a mechanical key, no pellet, no transponder. It's the tumbler that communicates with pass lock sensor not the key. If the relearn doesn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you?

Saturn L200 Passlock Problem

I have a very untechnical solution to this problem and I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it but it sure does work. Turn the igniton to ON so that the dash lights up. Eventually the others lights go out and the flashing "Securty" light stays. Keep the driver side door slightly ajar and sit and wait for that Security light to stop blink, usually 5-10 minutes. Once it stops blinking you can start your car. I can't promise that you won't have the starting problem again, but it will happen with decreasing frequency. Ultimately you need to have the passlock issue handled at a dealership. I say DEALERSHIP because it's a manufacturer flaw and they should be made aware of this issue everytime. They're also best equipped to handle it.

Have 2003 chevy tahoe the security light flahs wont start

Your Passlock may need to relearn the ignition keys, if the ignition lock has gone bad like my in-laws Grand Am Gt, here is what i did so they will not get stranded any more. Buy a Passlock by pass module for around $70.00. You can orderone from GMPASSLOCK.COM in the mean time try resetting the Passlock. Good luck

Ignition keys relearn takes about 30 min to do. 30-Minute Learn Procedure 1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON; the vehicle will not start. 3. Observe the SECURITY tell tale light. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will turn OFF. 4. Turn OFF the ignition switch, and wait 5 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 - two more times - for a total of 3 cycles of 10 minutes. 3x10 = 30 minutes. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch turn from OFF to CRANK Important: Turn the Ignition Switch OFF. The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. 6. Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password. 7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed. History DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles. Without a scan tool you may have momentary starter interruptions while history clears itself.
