After changing the oil on my car I went to start it and the security light came on.  Now, I can not get my car to start because of the car's security (PASSLOCK) system malfunctioning.  How do I go about fixing this so I can start my car and drive it again?

Follow this procedures.

1.Turn Ignition switch to on position(do not cranck engine)

2.Momentarily roll key foward so that the engine cranks for 2 seconds.(do not try to start engine,it wont start.)

3.Wait 10 minutes

4.Observe security light.It should change state from flashing or on to completely off.

5.turn the ignition switch to off.for 5 seconds then the vehiocle should restart.

If this method doesnt work then use this one.

1. Roll the key cylinder to on, with the engine OFF.
2. Attempt to start the car, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
3. Observe the SECURITY light, after approximately 10 minutes the security light 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).
