HI there,
Why did you install a PCM?
If you just installed a PCM, you will need to do a theft deterrent learn, and if you installed a new module, then it must have been programmed by a dealership.
So, that being said, what codes are in the PCM and BCM?
Allthebest, c4c5

HI there,
Something is wrong, very very wrong.
First, there is no switch on a stock c5 that does this.
Second, once again, you have to program the antitheft system in order for it to start.
When you turn the key on and attempt to start the vehicle, what does the security light do?
Flash or stay on solid?
Allthebest, c4c5

HI there,
When you turn the key and attempt to start the vehicle, what does the security light do?
Flash, blink or go out?
We need to know this BEFORE we can assist further, because it will tell us if the security system is preventing the vehicle from starting.
