To reset the anti-theft system on a 2012 Chevy Malibu, you'll first need to turn the ignition key to the on position and wait for about 10 minutes until the flashing anti-theft light turns off. After that, turn the key off, then return to the car and try to start it to check if the reset was successful. This issue may arise from a battery being removed or drained, or a faulty passlock sensor triggering the anti-theft system, preventing the car from starting. Various factors can trigger the system, so troubleshooting or using an OBD diagnostic tool may be necessary to identify the exact problem.
