Question

Answer
The module used to bypass it
for remote start is malfunctioning or
is mis installed.

Let me explain...

This vehicle has the GM Passlock II immobilzer
anti-theft system. A bypass is required to circumvent.
If left unchecked, it will lock down the fuel injector
rail, and you will need to tow it in to GM for
evaluation, and resetting. The installer
who put in your remote starter needed to
put some bypass in of some sort to make it work
remotely. This is where I think your
trouble is.

I suggest the PLJX bypass kit to get around
this issue.

This Passlock Bypass Module is designed to momentarilly
allow the engine to remote start by sending a proper
coded pulse to open the fuel rail passlock injector
cut off circuit.

The output from an alarm/remote starter
would then shut down the pulse, once it has detected
the engine has engaged, and preserve the integrity
of the passlock system & work with the present ignition
key.

That is it's designed purpose.

I can not speak about a damaged passlock system,
like if a thief has destroyed it, because I do not
get into this part of GM'S security application.
But as a happy coincidence to installing
after market remote starters, this does work on bypassing
passlock in most all GM vehicles we've run into,
including your year GM vehicle as well.

Also, this is a self learning, resistor sensing
and adjusting module. Once the VATS wires have been tapped,
you would press the program button to learn,
and it does.

Hopefully, it will on yours as well.

You might want a car alarm installer to do this
for you, the fair rate being around 50. to 75.
for labor.
