  The link you furnished is a good reference for many of the GM vehicles listed, however, it only pertains to vehicles that have a separate Anti-theft module. On these cars: 1999 - 2004 Oldsmobile Alero 1997 - 2003 Chevrolet Malibu 1999 - 2004 Pontiac Grand Am The body control module contains the circuitry and brains for the anti-theft system, so the fix for the system is different.

  You don't need codes to program your new ignition lock. You may have one of two problems if your key will not turn. The most likely problem is that your steering system is putting pressure on the steering lock mechanism, which in turn makes it impossible to turn the key. Try this. Put your key in the ignition and gently try to turn it, while at the same time, turning the ... Read More

  Turn the ignition to ACC and wait ten minutes to see if it will reset. This might not work, but it costs nothing to try. If it does not work, you can try doing the reset three times in a row at 10-20 minute intervals. Make sure your headlights are off during this time so you don't run down your battery. ;)

  ccsmileybear, I do not believe you need a new key. This thread deals with Pontiac security systems which have the resistor and switches as part of the ignition switch. If your vehicle is between 1999 and 2003, it's likely you don't have a system which relies on a circuit in the ignition key. What year and model is your pontiac? 1.

  If the security light is coming on while it's running, or it comes on and flashes when you try to start it, then yes, it's a Passlock issue. "Pumping the gas" in a fuel injected engine won't do you any good.
