- In this video I will show you what I did when this symbol was displayed on my dashboard, and my car would not start. This was a 2014 Chevy Equinox but similar issue with other GM vehicles.

This worked for me
Step 1: Roll up your windows
Step 2: Get out of the vehicle
Step 3: lock the vehicle
Step 4: wait 5-10 minutes
Step 5: unlock, your car get into it and turn on the ignition
im at a walmart💀
What type of car do u have and year
I AM trying and not funtion
I need to unlock with the control o Doors key
i just tried everything you said, and it worked and self programed my new keyfob. i repeated the steps 3 times then after the fourth it worked. thanks a lot
Awesome!
subscribed love a man that fixes problems
2011 Cruze...thank you for the info....sure helped me out of a jam..
Omg bro you just saved my life this works guys!
Thanks man this helped a lot.
You're a king amongst men!!!
I am glad it helped.
Yeah the moral of the story is that an original key was found and he could easily program his second one since he had the key cut already.🤔
Do you need to wait for 10 minutes an do all that stuff before light turns off and than insert 2nd key? Or you have just use the 2nd key after nothing else worked?
GM has whats called "on board programing". You are on the right track. However, when you were saying "you will keep doing it until it starts". That's not necessary. You need to turn the key on for 10 minutes then back off. Repeat two more times. Three ten minute cycles is exactly how it works. Please understand I am not trying to criticize your video. I am simply explaining how it works. In the mean time, you did a great job and clearly helping others. Great video my friend....
What if I lost old key to 2007 Saturn ion 2 got a new key and this light pop on how would I fix it if I don’t have old key but do have new key
@@globebull5313 Saturn Ions never had a security chip. They are just a standard working key.
I just want to commend you on your ability to give the video creator his flowers while adding your experience to the conversation salute to both of you, I'm sitting here in my truck now trying it your way 🙏🏾
@@Chunographxdid it work out as mentioned for you?
I'm doing this with My 2012 Malibu as We Speak. On the first 10 Minute cycle.. I have it hooked up to My Battery Charger and random lights keep Flashing on and off and it's making this buzzing sound periodically. Wtf
Regardless of your particular concern.
Always check your fuses first.
A blown fuse to the body control module will more than likely kill your vehicle depending on mfg.
Excellent point
The anti-theft can really be a pain in the butt to trouble shoot.
I gotta 2012 Malibu and I can’t get mine to work . Plus my car key is a regular key no push buttons to unlock or lock
I have a 2006 chevy cobalt. About a week ago my locks were popping up and down without me touching the locking switch. Now the locks dont work at all. I have a yellow theft light up now. Whenever I go open the doors the alarm goes off. Then it disappears whenever I turn the car on. Whats going on with my car??
Okay thx this just happened to me! Luckily I had a new key made just before my warranty expired a few months ago! So I wait until the light goes out then reverse the key 10 seconds then restart? Thx I will give it a try
The hazard warning lights only flash when the
theft deterrent system is armed and the engine will not start.
To restore the system ,turn the ignition key to the lock position then to the on position,now press the lock or unlock door button on the driver's door,then turn on the ignition, the car should start.
what year is that? I know the 2011s do NOT have the lock/unlock on the door it is on the dash.
Will this work for 2012 chevrolet equinox? Also I can't get the key out
2011 chevy Cruze lt turbo owner here. Won't start. don't think it's the alternator, battery is charging. car just stopped working. Turns on and all bells and whistles light up on dash on cue BUT still no crank, just click. Anti-theft deterrent system not activated so I'm not locked out from that, so that's not the problem.What is out though is my hair.....from pulling it 🤬. Over this car 😅. Tried the key on and off method. STILL NO START. ANY suggestions would be appreciated ☺️.
2 Questions:
1) I do have a second key so I decided to check the battery in it. How do you remove the housing on fob to check the battery?
2) How do you self-program key fob?
Thanks!
Sorry to hear. So many possibilities but sounds like you picked the best place to start. Getting a battery boost. Hope you are on the road.
My Chevy Malibu 2010 actually turned on I turned it off and back on and the light erased ?
Anyone have a different method for a 07 mustang?
Did you have any issues locking and unlocking with the fob? I think mine might be the ignition switch.
How do you fix that?
Will this work on a 07 lucern
I didn’t even get a 2nd key at the dealership.:.
So I’ll need to try it with a spare key?
Or have a new key made. Let me know how it went
So do you have to have the second key 🔑? What if you dont
If you don't have an extra key and you cycle the reset steps a few times to no avail the last resort would be to order a replacement key. I can only show what got me out of the situation. I apologize, I am not an expert. I hope it worked for you.
I tried with the second key. But same thing shit happened again :(
What if I lost old key to 2007 Saturn ion 2 got a new key and this light pop on how would I fix it if I don’t have old key but do have new key
I have not work on a Saturn. May someone please chime in if you have the experience.
Everyone is saying put the second key in I put my second key in it worked for a couple of weeks and now the second key is doing the same thing
oh no. I hope you tried the reset and it worked
My mom has that happen but only 1 millisecond
Or the symbol only blinks
I have a 2013 Chevy equinox and my car lock symbol was on and I tried putting it in the start position and it was on for about 40 minutes and that didn’t work so I called a locksmith and they replaced my key and set up a new key fob and then I tried it and then it workedbut then the locksmith said that it would come back, but this video was super helpful so I just want to share my experience in case it would help somebody else
Mine isn’t flashing and you can leave key on for days it won’t go out
Did you figure it out? Mines is doing the same thing
What’s the problem and how we can fix it
The key was bad, you need to get another one. You can program it or have it programmed
That happened to me and at the end i just needed a new battery
True, first thing to check
Key fob 2011 Chevy equinox battery
They did this at GMC, and it worked for 2 weeks...now is not starting again. [FYI they installed a new engine and this issue just came] any feedback?
Sometimes we miss the basic steps as @elementisregamusproelium3472 mentioned checking the fuses. Any other feedback, please chime in.
Mines show and the engine lights shows and my car would not start
I have 2011 Chevy malibu
I am sorry, that could have been due to many options, including low engine oil
@@vernthejackofalltrades228 thanks we found the problem
@@nikkilivelifepretty5095 what was the problem I got the same issue w my 2011 chevy malibu
Tell us how u fixed? Please
Can it be failing key fob battery?
Yes, That should be checked first
How to do with keyless button?
I have not worked with that type. I would not want to mislead you.
Where can we get an extra key?
Dealer or order online. I use keyfobmall online
So, find an old key and problem solved?
Rite I’m confused 🫤
Sorry, The problem was the key. You Need a new key if it does not work. I was lucky to find a spare key
How did you get an extra key
You can purchase one from the dealer or online. I use keyfobmall online
