I have a 07 GT and about four months the ignition switch went bad. I replaced it and when getting the car up again I get the message "starting disabled due to theft system" on the DIC. Here are the details:
-I have an HPT and the tune currently in the car I have the VATS communication set to none. This has allowed me to start/run/drive the car with this message.
-I did not change any of the keys or the ring that is part of the lock cylinder
-I attempted twice the 30 minute key learn procedure to no avail (I do see that while the car is running I get a "check trip computer" message every ten minutes, I guess that is the 07's version of flashing the security light).
-Sometimes the car does not display this message. It happens randomly, more on cold starts on very cold days, it will eventually come on after say five minutes or so.
-My dash was all come apart so I just replaced the dash bezel and another DIC. There is no change other than the mileage is different.
What can I do to at the very least get this message to go away and have a working DIC again? The key learn process is not working so I feel like the issue may be a wiring issues (unfortunately while having the car apart I checked for any breaks or damage and could not find any). I heard that a GM tech 2 tool could fix this but I do not know anyone with one and I am not willing to go to a dealership and pay large sums of money for that service. I found difficulty finding good schematics of passkey 3 (a majority of the information is really for passkey 2). I see some kits and items out there that state it will bypass passkey 3 but I do not know how legitimate they are (as in if they work or not).
