Hello all,

I have an 02 coupe and this is a wierd one. I don't want anything really bad happening like the steering locking or the alarm going off while driving... the yellow SECURITY light goes on every once in a while while driving.

I have always pulled over right away and if I turn the car off and back on again it goes out... anyone know of this and is there a danger of something else happening like steering or alarm issues??

Thank,
mcmtac

 

IS your car throwing any codes?

How to Enter Diagnostic Mode
The "diagnostic display" mode is entered with the following procedure:
1) Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine.
2) Press the "reset" button to turn off any warning messages
3) Press and hold "options"
4) While holding "options", press "fuel" four times within a 10-second period.
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display.
The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem.
When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back.
To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M". If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press " reset

mine would do this on occassion. It turned out to be the resistor pellet on the key. It was worn down. I got the spare key out, and that solved the problem.

 

 

whoa with posting all those codes!

 

I had the same problem and I just started using my spare key.

 

Agreed-they should have a sticky w/ this stuff by now.
