RE: security!!!!
The ignition key has a resistor chip enbedded into it. The security module reads the resistance of the chip when the key is inserted in the ignition switch. If the resistance is according to what is programmed into the security module, it will send a data stream to the PCM indicating hat the right key is being used. Upon receiving the OK message, the PCM will allow the engine to start. Problems: bad contacts in the ignition switch preventing the resistance to be read, defective key contacts, resitor went bad, wiring problems ignition key to security module, wiring problem security module to PCM, bad security module.
