How do I reset the security system. My battery died and now I get a service theft system. I tried unsuccessfully to reset using the key in the run position, try starting vehicle (van starts every time)vehicle wont start. release key to the run position and repeat 3 x's. problem is it starts every time. Am I missing something?
You have done the only reset there is. Next is a scan of the system.
Testimonial: "Hi Dennis, Thank you for your reply. Am I doing something incorrect? The vehicle starts every time I try to do the reset. The vehicle will start every time I try to do the reset? Do I have to disconnect something to keep it from starting?"

That one your going to have to goto the dealer for. I think the alarm you have is after market, so you will probably have to if them check it.

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

try your spare key it sounds like the transponder in the key is going bad

The key is to locate the Bosch type relay.
It's a simply SPST 12V relay.
The alarm install like to hid it so it will prevent a car theft to by pass the relay.
Most likely it's on a female socket. The relay may be sitting off center,
THE KEY IS to find this black square relay.

Greetings,
Does the key have a chip in it? If it does, read the resistance accross both sides of the key chip on the 20k scale, buy a 96 cent pack of resistors from Radio Shack, and solder together a set of them that equals near 2% variance of what the key reads,shrink wrap them, try to locate the wiring and solder this resistance set up in the wires, try to start.
Wiring diagram is needed to be sure of the colors and location of wires to be spliced.
I came accross a remedy of some who had a remote control start installed and they stated this eliminated their starting horrors.
When you turn the key to start does it crank or does it make any sort of a noise, like a clicking to the relay?
try tapping the solenoid with a long bar tried just about everything else.
?€¢
The CTD system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD system uses the indicator in order to identify system status. For specific CTD condition that will illuminate the security indicator, refer to Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Description and Operation .
?€¢
The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM
The radio illuminates the SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM message when the VTD system detects a failure. The radio receives a message from the theft deterrent control module via the serial data circuit requesting illumination.
This is one you need to take to the dealer , unless you have a GM factory scan tool !
