GM Pass lock question

Veh: 2000 Grand Am 3.4

The other day after coming out of the grocery store my can wouldn't start and I determined that it was because passlock for whatever reason thought the car was being hotwired and cut fuel. The security light wouldn't go out. The owners man for the car makes it sound as though you've got to keep the keys in the ignition and in the "on" position for 10 minutes for the light to go out. Because of this I turned off the lights and radio etc.

Could I have turned the ig to the "off" position and/or removed the keys and gone back inside the store and let it reset or does it require the keys in the "on" pos to reset?

I'd just like to know this incase this happens again.

Thanks MB

This is of interest to me because I still havent bypassed the system on my Reatta and it occasionally gets temperamental. (When I dig down to that package of precision resistors that I KNOW I have somewhere, I'll get to it.)

On the Reatta, you take out the key and wait for a few minutes.

Shep's answer to you may well be correct for the later model systems, but on my 90 model, you dont have to leave the key in the lock.
