If the alarm system in your Chevy Impala is malfunctioning, the first step you should take is to reset it. Resetting the security system is a simple process that should only require about ten minutes of your time. To reset the alarm, all you need to do is insert the key into the ignition of your car and leave it there until the security light on the dashboard starts flashing instead of staying lit continuously. Once the light is flashing, you can attempt to start the engine. If you encounter persistent issues with your security system, I recommend having Chevrolet inspect it as it may be related to a problem with the body control module.

To reprogram the security system on your Chevy Impala, try to start the car. If it doesn't start or shuts off soon after starting, leave the key in the ignition in the "on" position and wait for 10 minutes. Ensure the security light is blinking. Once the light stops blinking after 10 minutes, it will either turn off completely or remain steady.

Remove the positive terminal from your battery, reconnect it, and you should see improvement. This is a good opportunity to clean your battery terminals on a 2008 Chevy Impala.
