Default Security light on?

I have a problem, i was at sonic this morning and when i turned the car, The security light was illuminated. The car fired up with no problems. I went to base and changed my oil, disconnected the battery for 30 mins. I hooked it back up but it still stays on. Again, the car starts, drives, and acts fine. I read thru the search and everyone is having the no start problems. Mine isn't doing this. So, i have no clue.

Thanks,
Freddie

It's something with the VATS. I had the security light on in my T/A for months and never once had a problem. I wouldn't be worried. As to fixing it? I think you need a new VATS or just eliminate it.

Do you have any type of programming installed on your car? If so, did you disable the vats...mine does the same every once in a while. It will eventually leave you though...sucks.

I don't have any tuing done on the car yet. Waiting to install cam kit. But, I'll deal with it until it decides to leave me stranded at work or home one day. Thanks guys.
