Default security light on car wont start

every other day my security light will come on and car wont start. after it sits for 5 mins the light will go out and i can start it up. i tried using my spare key and still having the same intermittion issue. can it be deleted through hptuners so i dont need the chip to start my car. or should i buy a new lock cylinder?

Might need a new lock cylinder if it is doing it with both keys.

yeah, that definitely sounds like a lock cylinder problem.

You shouldn't be able to pull the key out with the car running. Cylinder is probably bad.
