Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My anti theft device is activated due to replacing the steering wheel column. How do I reset it?

my problem is my dad is a certified mechanic who has every tool known to man kind and i line 130 miles away. my car is another 40 miles from me. so i am doing this over the phone. here is how i reset mine.

I had a car that would start for two seconds and die, with the Theft Sys light blinking.

The manual was no help. But thank God for the internet where I found a passing comment by someone that made it work. If this is your problem:

1. Attempt to start the car, let it stall, but DO NOT turn the key off! Leave it in RUN.
2. Wait 10 minutes or until the Theft Sys light glows steady instead of blinking.
3. Do not turn the key off, but start it immediately.
4. This should reset your Passlock system.

stay in touch if the problem persist.
