How to get a 2000 Chevy Tahoe out of “Theft Mode”?
brandon p asked:
Lost my keys. Had a LockSmith attempt to create a new key with no luck. He took off the passanger front door panel and also fooled around with the ingition. He couldnt get the ignition out to make the key. I’ve since went to the dealer and had a new key made but the truck wont start. All the exterior lights blink when I open the door. It attempts to crank when I turn the key but wont. Im concerned the LockSmith may have activated a “Theft Mode” which Is why the truck wont start. Please Help!

Contact dealer parts dept give them VIN number make sure you have papers showing you own he car. They will cut key by VIN code
You to do an anti theft relearn, the best way is to have your truck towed to the dealer and have the VTD reprogrammed, the other way is to turn the ignition key(with out cranking) and hold until the security light blinks, wait 10 mins, and repeat the process twice more, turn ignition off, wait 10 mins, and try to start the engine, if this doesn’t work revert to option one.
Just lock the drivers door, then unlock it and it will take it out of theft mode.
