A. try turning the key to accessory and leaving it there until the error light goes out. b. if you haven't yet, drive it 20-30 miles and let the main computer reset itself.
hopefully, that should solve the problem!
good luck!

How do I reset the anti theft system

Hi Jodi, My name is Randy and I'm going to try and help you with your problem. Your anti-theft system is what's called PassKey this is the reset procedure.....Before you attempt this you must have a fully charged battery. 1.) Turn Ignition key to On position and attempt to start the engine, If it doesn't start release the ignition key to the On position. 2.) Security light will illuminate, Wait 10-12 minutes until it turns off. 3.) Turn the Ignition key off for 10 seconds. 4.) Try and attempt to start the engine, if it does not start, You will need to follow procedures 1-4, 3 times. Hope this helps and Good Luck, Randy.

My security light came on and i dont know what that means

That is your alram system. The computer has sensed something and turned the alram. Be careful because they can lock up the car where it can't be started. You will need to reset the system. You should call the dealership and tell them you need the security code for your vehicle. I am not sure about unplugging the battery. I don't know if that will work or not. You can check your owner manual and they might have it in your book. If you have any questions, write back. We will help as much as we can. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

How do I reset the service engine soon light on 2001 Olds Silhouette

A diagnostic scanner that reads OBD1 (the system by which your vehicle processes trouble codes) will be required, many parts stores do this a s a free service. Check with them to see if they charge. Remember though, when they read the car and turn the light off that in order for the light to stay off, the problem must be fixed. Even if it was a one time fluke of a problem, get the code that their scanner gives them so that you know what the issue is.

Constant beeping when opening door to exit van

Good news. After letting the van sit for a few hours, when I went to get in it again, I opened the van with the key (ie. not the remote fob) and there was no beeping. I don't know if checking all the fuses (I fulled and checked each one), or disconnecting the battery, using the key, or just letting it sit did the trick, but it is now fixed.
