To stop the security warning light on your dashboard, you can try resetting the anti-theft system. Simply insert the key into the ignition, turn the vehicle to the on position, then turn it off. Wait for 10 minutes before powering the vehicle on again, which should clear the light. If this doesn't work, you can also disconnect the battery for 20 to 30 minutes to reset all codes and return the vehicle to its factory settings.
This will activate once you reset the anti-theft system. To do so, insert the key into the ignition, start the car, and then turn it off after a ten-minute wait.
I attempted both approaches. The first involved turning the key on and off for 10 minutes, and although the issue resurfaced initially, the second method of disconnecting the negative battery cable for half an hour worked for a short period of 30 minutes. However, the security light came back on thereafter.
