if you don't have access to a scanner but have a key to it you can see if it is a passlock problem by cranking the engine over a few seconds then release the key to the run position but not off. if the security light stays on the VTD system may just need relearned. to do this w/out a scanner just insert key and crank for a few seconds then release it to the on position. let set for ten minutes then the security lamp will go out. do this twice more but between cycles turn the key to the off position for at least 5 seconds. after the thrid ten min turn the key off for another 5 seconds or so then it should fire. If it does I'd suspect the passlock sensor is on it's way down.
