Start by describing what problem you are having. You don't just go jumping on whatever someone else's fix was, you have to do some troubleshooting.

Yes, there is a theft deterrent relay (TDR) to the right of the glove box.

You found the anti theft relay; the reason the security light is ON is that the BCM controls the ground of that relay and the engine starting without that wire getting a signal sends a fault message.

Fix the relay to BCM connection (probably at the 4-pin relay connector); restore the use of the relay, and the fault light will go off and the car will starrt too!
