Trouble Shooting Hints: Notes

On all models, note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM for Cutlass & Malibu, or ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM for all other models in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section. Check starter solenoid terminals and battery grounds. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment. Perform self-diagnostic system test, to be certain no trouble codes are stored in PCM memory which may lead to misdiagnosis. See TESTS W/CODES - 2.4L article or TESTS W/CODES - 3.1L article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
