Security Kill switch Recently I've been getting the "no-go" on starting the car; I turn the key to ignition, and the PASSKey system activates, killing the starter circuit and the fuel pump. That annoying "SECURITY" light comes on, and I have to sit there for about 3 minutes until the system resets itself. Thought I might have a bad resistor in the iginition key, so went and bought a new one. Nope, same thing happens!! 
Anybody have any idea what might be wrong?
I just had a custom tune put in, but we didn't go anywhere near the security functions.
Any help would be appreciated, this is getting old quick!

Yea a tuning program can remove this for you.
Other than that the lock cylinder VATS pellet reading contacts, the small 20 gauge wire breaks or begins to & causes these type problems.

If that doesn't fix it you can also bypass the VATS physical interlock by grounding the appropriate wire on the BCM.
On the 00 cars I believe it is the dark blue wire on the BCM bundle, but check that before you just ground it.
Good Luck
