Problem with my 1996 Pontiac Grand Am
4 cylinder
anti theft light is on
work done to repair = new fuel pump
tech = JK
question = anti theft light is on and car will start for 5 seconds and
then die!! Where is the anti theft device? I will change it, I have a
parts car one year older, the same car!!
JK:
This system uses a passlock key cylinder in the column, the instrument cluster, and
the PCM. Any one of these could be at fault. The passlock cylinder is the most
common. After replacement, the system would have to be relearned.
If infact the ignition cylinder is bad, you need to remove the tilt lever, remove the
upper and lower covers. Turn the key to the ON position, press the small release tab
on the housing that the cylinder goes into, then pull out the cylinder. Install the new
cylinder the same way.
To re-learn the system,
I will send that procedure to you......
