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.
HUH? Got the concept, just have no idea where to locate it.. send me a link or info, pictures, then I can do it..thanks for the help!!
