this is an automatic and it will not start. The car wants to start but can't. The theft system light is on the dashboard. Can anyone please help me figure this out. Thanks

Copied from a Grand Am manual:
So, if your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock theft-deterrent system:
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system. Passlock enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder has not been tampered with. During normal operation, the SECURITY light will go off approximately five seconds after the ignition key is turned to ON and the engine is started. If the SECURITY light flashes with the key in ON, wait 10 minutes until the light goes off. Then turn the ignition to OFF before attempting to start the engine. If the SECURITY light stays on with the key in ON, turn the key to OFF and then back to ON.
Hope this helps.
