Started truck with remote start and it worked perfect. Went out got into truck put in key truck died. Now security light is blinking and CEL, seat belt reminder light and the odometer are lit and stay on even with the key out. Also the heater fan stays running. Engine will turn over but no start.

OPERATION
The SKIM sends PCI Bus messages to the instrument cluster, to turn on the “Security” indicator for about 3 seconds when the ignition is turned to the ON position, as a “Bulb” test. After completion of the “Bulb” test, the SKIM sends a PCI bus messages to keep the LED off for 1 second. Then the SKIM sends messages to the instrument cluster to turn the LED off based upon the results if the SKIS self - test. If the indicator illuminates and remains illuminated after the “bulb test”, it indicates that the SKIM has detected a system malfunction and/or the system has become inoperative. If the SKIM detects a invalid key when the ignition switch is turned on, it sends a message to the instrument cluster to flash the “Security” indicator.
The SKIM can also send messages to the cluster to flash the LED and generate a chime. These functions serve as an indication to the customer that the SKIM is in the Customer Learn programming mode. See Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder Programming in this group for more information on the “Customer Learn” programming Mode.
If the VTSS indicator remains on after the “Bulb” test, the system should be diagnosed using the DRBIII® scan tool and the proper Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual.
