How to Reset the Anti-Theft Light That Keeps Flashing?

[MacBrantley]

The anti-theft light flashing at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds indicates that the engine anti-theft system is active and does not need to be deactivated. If you insist on deactivating it, you can unplug the wiring harness of the vehicle's anti-theft light. Generally, when the owner presses the lock button on the smart key, the anti-theft system activates, and the anti-theft light starts flashing. Many owners mistakenly believe that the continuous flashing of the anti-theft light means the car is not properly locked or worry that it will drain the vehicle's battery. In reality, the power consumption of the anti-theft light is negligible and poses no issue for the battery. If the battery runs out of power, the vehicle's anti-theft system will lock the car, preventing the deactivation of the anti-theft system or the opening of doors and engine via the remote control. In such cases, the vehicle must be unlocked using the mechanical key, and the battery must be jump-started or replaced.
