Try resetting security system if no manual look online then have a pro scan for codes.

I tried the security system reset procedure. The security light goes out. So it will still start but shuts off 5-10 seconds later. Airbag light still on. Could it be Crank Sensor that may have been damaged?

Scan for codes, that still sounds like a security issue though which normally for airbag and security only a pro can scan for. It may be the air bag light on not allowing it to start
