Try this, you state that when starting up and immediately dying within a couple of seconds, this could be due to a fault in the security system.
You need do a simple relearn procedure which will re-program the key to the security system.
You need do a simple relearn procedure which will re-program the key to the security system.
30 Minute Re-Learn Procedure
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
- Observe the SECURITY telltale(security light), after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
- Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds .
- Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes (the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock(TM) Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK). IMPORTANT: The vehicle learns the Passlock(TM) Sensor Data Code and/or password XXXXX the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle.
- Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and or password).
This normally takes care of the problem. If it returns where it only runs for a couple of seconds and then dies, you can perform this again to get it running, however that indicates a fault in the security system that it is not retaining the key programming and will at that point need a new security module.
