If the security light on the dash is not on when the car is running, it should work work. If there is a problem with the system the car more than likely will not run. The passlock system diables the fuel injectors if someone attempts to steel the vehicle.

Can you reset passkey II on a GM truck?

Passkey II can be reset based on the type of Truck you are looking at. You can usually reset it by the steps below. To determine if the passkey is your problem you need to know if the security light is flashing, solid, or out. Observe the Security indicator lamp in the instrument panel. Remove the key from the lock cylinder. - Security indicator should be Flashing when the door is open. - Security indicator should be Off when all the doors are closed. - If the Security indicator does not come On or go Off correctly, refer to the Content Theft Deterrent System diagnostic and repair information in the applicable Service Manual. With the Doors closed, place the key in the lock cylinder and turn to the Run position. Observe the Security indicator lamp. - Lamp is On and does not go Off however, the engine starts. This indicates that the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (Passlock) system detected a fault when the engine was running. - Lamp flashes On and Off. This indicates a problem has been detected by the Passlock(Passlock™) system and the engine may not start this key cycle, a current condition. If you determine that the Passlock is the issue, you need to do some web research on the "corrosion of the passlock system" GM had massive issueswith them and you may be able to get the answer there.

2004 Chevy Malibu sometimes will not start Anti theft light is also on Only way to start is to reset Any suggestions?

The anti-theft feature prevents the car from being started when one of several anti-theft devices is faulty are have otherwise been activated. The problem you describe might be the ignition switch, which is known to wear out quickly on those models. The system can be completely disabled only when the car is running (meaning the theft deterrent system is inactive after the Passlock II system detects the proper key in the ignition). A wire can be cut that would permanantly disable Passlock II, meaning any key that opens the door (or a screwdriver) could start the car. If the ignition swtich goes out or this wire is cut while the engine is off (theft deterrent system is active) then the car will have to be towed back to the dealer to have the ignition system replaced and reprogrammed.
