Here is what you need to do.Go buy a 2.2k ohm resistor at an electronics store.I go to radio shack just get one as close to that as you can.Remove the covers on the steering column and locate three small wires at the lock cylinder.Cut the yellow wire and the orange/black wire.Solder the resistor between those wires.Tape it up and put the covers back on and follow this relearn procedure.Don't worry about clearing the codes.If this doesn't work you have a wiring problem in the steering column.
30 Minute Re-Learn Procedure
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
  3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
  5. 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™ Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK).

    Important

    The vehicle learns the Passlock™ Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle.

  6. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock™ Sensor Data Code and/or password).
  7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if desired (history DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles).
