IF ANYONE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OR KNOW HOW TO FIX IT PLEASE HELP
sitting in my garage quietly

 

PM sent.

 

cmon guys, help me out. i see this happens to a lot of different corvette owners and i kno it has to do with the theft deterrent system but no one has a solution??? there has to be some kind of reset. help me out brothers

 

I thought I made everything clear based on our phone call. Per our conversation, I explained that the current code(that would not clear, B2723 is for the Pass key circuit, which is related to the theft system. I explained that there is a problem, either with the key, or the ignition switch is not reading the key, which consequently, disables the theft deterrent relay(disabling the start)....thus no crank. I also explained that you have the option to use a procedure that would allow you to wire in a resistor(of the same value as your key), to bypass the system. So I provided you with a definition for the code, the possible problems, and a method to bypass to verify what is defective. What more are you looking for in a solution?

 

1. Disable your headlamps. Attempt to start the vehicle. Vehicle may or may not 'fire' and quit. Some vehicles will not engage the starter. This is normal. DO NOT TURN OFF KEY YET !!

2. Leave the key in the "on" position, until the 'security' light goes out or quits alternately flashing between "Security" and "Battery". This relearn period always takes 10 minutes. How long does this take ? 10 minutes. How long do I have to wait ? 10 minutes.

3. After security light is no longer displayed, shut the key off ! Wait 5-10 seconds and repeat the above procedure (steps 1 through 3) another two completed times for a total of 3 start-relearn-attempts, remembering to shut the key off between each 10 minute relearn procedure. This will take 30 minutes--no less. If the 4th start attempt fails to start the vehicle you did one relearn step (or all of them incorrectly). If you left your headlamps on until the battery went dead and voltage dropped below 10.5 volts, no amount of relearn attempts will be learned !!
Don't read too much into this. Most people cannot seem to grasp the simplicity of this relearn procedure.

4. Check *the VATS pellet in the key. Try using your spare key to resolve the issue. If the car starts using the spare key then you want to try cleaning the pellet on the key causing the issue. You can do this by simply using Isopropyl Alcohol *on a damp cloth, followed by sliding the resistor back and forth between a piece of folded paper.
If the car continues to start using the spare key but does not start using the original key after cleaning you need to buy a new key !

 

some kind of reset like this if it works

 

Per your own disclosure, this is not the first time this has happen to you. So you're looking for some sort of magic way to get it started? Ok, but rest assured, even if you do get it started........this will happen again if you do not isolate the problem, and replace/repair what is malfunctioning. The car is actually telling you what is wrong......


Good luck. :

 

i think this is something that would happen to any vette.........unless there is something wrong wit my car, and if it is it only happens when the battery goes dead... i dont know, if i did i would be in the garage and not on the computer...... thanks for ur help b/c believe me i need it. i do like magic but i would rater have a solution........

 

1. First, insert the ignition key and turn the ignition switch to the “On” position (Do not start the engine). Leave the switch on for 11 minutes. The security light may flash or be on steady during this 11 minute period. Make sure the light is no longer on or flashing before proceeding to #2 .
2. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position (as in step #1) for 11 minutes again.
4. Turn the ignition switch off for another 30 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position for 11 minutes a third time.
6. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds one final time.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position one final time and wait 30 seconds.
8. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts and runs normally, the relearn is complete. If the engine does not start, check for trouble codes and address them before attempting the relearn procedure again.

 

did this work?
